Estimation of the components of an ETAS (Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence) model for earthquake description. Non-parametric background seismicity can be estimated through FLP (Forward Likelihood Predictive). New version 2.0.0: covariates have been introduced to explain the effects of external factors on the induced seismicity; the parametrization has been changed; Chiodi, Adelfio (2017)<doi:10.18637/jss.v076.i03>.

Treatments of a one-way layout, being equivalent to a control, 
 can be selected with this package. Bonferroni adjusted "two one-sided 
 t-tests" (TOST) and related simultaneous confidence intervals are given for 
 both differences or ratios of means of normally distributed data. For the 
 case of equal variances and balanced sample sizes for the treatment groups, 
 the single-step procedure of Bofinger and Bofinger (1995) 
 <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1995.tb02058.x> can be chosen. For non-normal data, 
 the Wilcoxon test is applied.

An implementation of the quantitative ethnobotany indices in R. The goal is to provide an easy-to-use platform for ethnobotanists to assess the cultural significance of plant species based on informant consensus. The package closely follows the paper by Tardio and Pardo-de-Santayana (2008). Tardio, J., and M. Pardo-de-Santayana, 2008. Cultural Importance Indices: A Comparative Analysis Based on the Useful Wild Plants of Southern Cantabria (Northern Spain) 1. Economic Botany, 62(1), 24-39. <doi:10.1007/s12231-007-9004-5>.

Reliable and rapid ethnicity annotation from whole exome and targeted sequencing data.

A predictable and pipeable framework for performing ETL 
    (extract-transform-load) operations on publicly-accessible medium-sized data 
    set. This package sets up the method structure and implements generic 
    functions. Packages that depend on this package download specific data sets 
    from the Internet, clean them up, and import them into a local or remote 
    relational database management system.

Provides functions to facilitate the use of the 'ff' package
    in interaction with big data in 'SQL' databases (e.g. in 'Oracle', 'MySQL',
    'PostgreSQL', 'Hive') by allowing easy importing directly into 'ffdf' objects
    using 'DBI', 'RODBC' and 'RJDBC'. Also contains some basic utility functions to
    do fast left outer join merging based on 'match', factorisation of data and a
    basic function for re-coding vectors.
