A collection of lexical hash tables, dictionaries, and word lists.

Provides easy access for sentiment lexicons for those who want to do text analysis in Portuguese texts.
    As of now, two Portuguese lexicons are available: 'SentiLex-PT02' and 'OpLexicon' (v2.1 and v3.0).

My PhD supervisor once told me that everyone doing newspaper
    analysis starts by writing code to read in files from the 'LexisNexis' newspaper
    archive (retrieved e.g., from <https://www.lexisnexis.com/> or any of the partner
    sites). However, while this is a nice exercise I do recommend, not everyone has
    the time. This package takes files downloaded from the newspaper archive of
    'LexisNexis', reads them into R and offers functions for further processing.

Plots empty Lexis grids, adds lifelines and highlights certain areas of the grid, like cohorts and age groups.

An R implementation of the LexRank algorithm described by G. Erkan and D. R. Radev (2004) <DOI:10.1613/jair.1523>.

Provides an extension to factors called 'lfactor' that are similar
    to factors but allows users to refer to 'lfactor' levels by either the level or
    the label.

Shiny apps for the quantitative analysis of images from lateral flow assays (LFAs). The images are segmented and background corrected and color intensities are extracted. The apps can be used to import and export intensity data and to calibrate LFAs by means of linear, loess, or gam models. The calibration models can further be saved and applied to intensity data from new images for determining concentrations.

Ratios of count data such as obtained from RNA-seq are modelled
    using Bayesian statistics to derive posteriors for effects sizes. This
    approach is described in Erhard & Zimmer (2015) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkv696> 
    and Erhard (2018) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bty471>.

Functions for performing and visualizing Local Fisher Discriminant
    Analysis(LFDA), Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis(KLFDA), and Semi-supervised
    Local Fisher Discriminant Analysis(SELF).
