Estimation of mixed models including a subject-specific variance which can be time and covariate dependent. In the joint model framework, the package handles left truncation and allows a flexible dependence structure between the competing events and the longitudinal marker. The estimation is performed under the frequentist framework, using the Marquardt-Levenberg algorithm. (Courcoul, Tzourio, Woodward, Barbieri, Jacqmin-Gadda (2023) <arXiv:2306.16785>).

Provides an interface to the Flickr API <https://www.flickr.com/services/api/>
      and allows R users to download data on Flickr.

Functions to create and manipulate 
    FIFO (First In First Out), LIFO (Last In First Out), and NINO (Not In or Never Out) 
    stacks in R.

Provides functionality to plot airplane flight paths on maps. The plotted flight paths follow the great circle of the Earth.

Spatio-temporal locations of an animal are computed 
    from annotated data with a hidden Markov  model via particle
    filter algorithm. The package is relatively robust to varying
    degrees of shading.
    The hidden Markov model is described in Movement Ecology - Rakhimberdiev et al. (2015) <doi:10.1186/s40462-015-0062-5>,
    general package description is in the Methods in Ecology and Evolution - Rakhimberdiev et al. (2017) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12765>
    and package accuracy assessed in the Journal of Avian Biology - Rakhimberdiev et al. (2016) <doi:10.1111/jav.00891>.

Download flight and airport data from Brazil’s Civil Aviation Agency
             (ANAC) <https://www.gov.br/anac/pt-br>. The data includes detailed 
             information on all aircrafts, aerodromes, airports, and airport 
             movements registered in ANAC, on airfares and on every international
             flight to and from Brazil, as well as domestic flights within the country.

Likelihood-free inference method for stochastic models.
    Uses a deterministic optimizer on simple simulations of the model
    that are performed with a prior drawn randomness by applying the inverse transform method.
    Is designed to work on its own and also by using the Julia package 'Jflimo'
    available on the git page of the project: <https://metabarcoding.org/flimo>.
