A modular package for simulating phylogenetic trees and species traits jointly. Trees can be simulated using modular birth-death parameters (e.g. changing starting parameters or algorithm rules). Traits can be simulated in any way designed by the user. The growth of the tree and the traits can influence each other through modifiers objects providing rules for affecting each other. Finally, events can be created to modify both the tree and the traits under specific conditions.

An R re-implementation of the 'treeinterpreter' package on PyPI
        <https://pypi.org/project/treeinterpreter/>. Each prediction can be
        decomposed as 'prediction = bias + feature_1_contribution + ... +
        feature_n_contribution'. This decomposition is then used to calculate
        the Mean Decrease Impurity (MDI) and Mean Decrease Impurity using
        out-of-bag samples (MDI-oob) feature importance measures based on the
        work of Li et al. (2019) <arXiv:1906.10845>.

Provides customizable 3D tree models (as 'OBJ' files) for use in data visualization. Includes both planar and solid tree models, various crown types (columnar, oval, palm, pyramidal, rounded, spreading, vase, weeping), and options to change the diameter, height, and color of the tree's crown and trunk.

Interface to the API for 'TreeBASE' <http://treebase.org>
    from 'R.' 'TreeBASE' is a repository of user-submitted phylogenetic
    trees (of species, population, or genes) and the data used to create
    them.

User-friendly analysis of hierarchical multinomial processing tree (MPT) 
    models that are often used in cognitive psychology. Implements the latent-trait 
    MPT approach (Klauer, 2010) <DOI:10.1007/s11336-009-9141-0> and the beta-MPT 
    approach (Smith & Batchelder, 2010) <DOI:10.1016/j.jmp.2009.06.007> to model 
    heterogeneity of participants. MPT models are conveniently specified by an
    .eqn-file as used by other MPT software and data are provided by a .csv-file 
    or directly in R. Models are either fitted by calling JAGS or by an MPT-tailored 
    Gibbs sampler in C++ (only for nonhierarchical and beta MPT models). Provides 
    tests of heterogeneity and MPT-tailored summaries and plotting functions.
    A detailed documentation is available in Heck, Arnold, & Arnold (2018) 
    <DOI:10.3758/s13428-017-0869-7> and a tutorial on MPT modeling can be found 
    in Schmidt, Erdfelder, & Heck (2022) <DOI:10.31234/osf.io/gh8md>.
