Solves kernel ridge regression, within the the mixed model framework, for the linear, polynomial, Gaussian, Laplacian and ANOVA kernels. The model components (i.e. fixed and random effects) and variance parameters are estimated using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. All the estimated components and parameters, e.g. BLUP of dual variables and BLUP of random predictor effects for the linear kernel (also known as RR-BLUP), are available. The kernel ridge mixed model (KRMM) is described in Jacquin L, Cao T-V and Ahmadi N (2016) A Unified and Comprehensible View of Parametric and Kernel Methods for Genomic Prediction with Application to Rice. Front. Genet. 7:145. <doi:10.3389/fgene.2016.00145>.

The goal of 'kronos' is to provide an easy-to-use framework to analyse circadian or otherwise rhythmic data using the familiar R linear modelling syntax, while taking care of the trigonometry under the hood.

Kernel smoothers for univariate and multivariate data, with comprehensive visualisation and bandwidth selection capabilities, including for densities, density derivatives, cumulative distributions, clustering, classification, density ridges, significant modal regions, and two-sample hypothesis tests.

The Retained Component Criterion for Principal Component Analysis (RCC_PCA) is a tool to determine the optimal number of components to retain in PCA.

Compares k samples using the Anderson-Darling test, Kruskal-Wallis type tests 
	with different rank score criteria, Steel's multiple comparison test, and the 
        Jonckheere-Terpstra (JT) test. It computes asymptotic, simulated or (limited) exact 
        P-values, all valid under randomization, with or without ties, or conditionally 
        under random sampling from populations, given the observed tie pattern.  Except for 
        Steel's test and the JT test it also combines these tests across several blocks of 
	samples.  Also analyzed are 2 x t contingency tables and their blocked combinations 
	using the Kruskal-Wallis criterion.  Steel's test is inverted to provide simultaneous 
	confidence bounds for shift parameters.  A plotting function compares tail probabilities
	obtained under asymptotic approximation with those obtained via simulation or exact 
	calculations.
