Provides some code to run simulations of state-space models, and then
             use these in the Approximate Bayesian Computation Sequential Monte Carlo (ABC-SMC) 
             algorithm of Toni et al. (2009) <doi:10.1098/rsif.2008.0172> and a bootstrap particle
             filter based particle Markov chain Monte Carlo (PMCMC) algorithm 
             (Andrieu et al., 2010 <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2009.00736.x>). 
             Also provides functions to plot and summarise the outputs.

Provides estimation of simultaneous bootstrap and asymptotic confidence intervals for diversity indices, namely the Shannon and the Simpson index. Several pre--specified multiple comparison types are available to choose. Further user--defined contrast matrices are applicable. In addition, simboot estimates adjusted as well as unadjusted p--values for two of the three proposed bootstrap methods. Further simboot allows for comparing biological diversities of two or more groups while simultaneously testing a user-defined selection of Hill numbers of orders q, which are considered as appropriate and useful indices for measuring diversity.

Computerized Adaptive Testing simulations with dichotomous and polytomous items. Selects items with Maximum Fisher Information method or randomly, with or without constraints (content balancing and item exposure control). Evaluates the simulation results in terms of precision, item exposure, and test length. Inspired on Magis & Barrada (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v076.c01>.

A flexible tool for simulating complex longitudinal data using
    structural equations, with emphasis on problems in causal inference.
    Specify interventions and simulate from intervened data generating
    distributions. Define and evaluate treatment-specific means, the average
    treatment effects and coefficients from working marginal structural models.
    User interface designed to facilitate the conduct of transparent and
    reproducible simulation studies, and allows concise expression of complex
    functional dependencies for a large number of time-varying nodes. See the
    package vignette for more information, documentation and examples.
