Routines for the polynomial spline fitting routines
  hazard regression, hazard estimation with flexible tails, logspline,
  lspec, polyclass, and polymars, by C. Kooperberg and co-authors.

Functions for evaluating the mass density, cumulative distribution function, quantile function and random variate generation for the Polya-Aeppli distribution, also known as the geometric compound Poisson distribution.  More information on the implementation can be found at Conrad J. Burden (2014) <arXiv:1406.2780>.

Simulate via Markov chain Monte Carlo (hit-and-run algorithm)
    a Dirichlet distribution conditioned to satisfy a finite set of linear
    equality and inequality constraints (hence to lie in a convex polytope
    that is a subset of the unit simplex).

Tools for creating, viewing, and assessing qualitative
 palettes with many (20-30 or more) colors. See Coombes and colleagues
 (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v090.c01>.

R port of Angus Johnson's open source library 'Clipper'. Performs polygon clipping operations (intersection, union, set minus, set difference) for polygonal regions of arbitrary complexity, including holes. Computes offset polygons (spatial buffer zones, morphological dilations, Minkowski dilations) for polygonal regions and polygonal lines. Computes Minkowski Sum of general polygons. There is a function for removing self-intersections from polygon data.

Computes polychoric and polyserial correlations by quick "two-step" methods or ML, 
  optionally with standard errors; tetrachoric and biserial correlations are special cases.

A polycross is the pollination by natural hybridization of a group of genotypes, generally selected, grown in isolation from other compatible genotypes in such a way to promote random open pollination. A particular practical application of the polycross method occurs in the production of a synthetic variety resulting from cross-pollinated plants. Laying out these experiments in appropriate designs, known as polycross designs, would not only save experimental resources but also gather more information from the experiment. Different experimental situations may arise in polycross nurseries which may be requiring different polycross designs (Varghese et. al. (2015) <doi:10.1080/02664763.2015.1043860>. " Experimental designs for open pollination in polycross trials"). This package contains a function named PD() which generates nine types of polycross designs suitable for various experimental situations.
