Themes for 'ggplot2' are a convenient way to style plots. The 'hrbrthemes' package
 contains a particularly nice one, but brings along a significant tail of dependencies. So this
 (currently experimental) package brings along just the 'theme_ipsum_rc' theme using the 'Roboto'
 'Condensed' font.  Should the font not be installed on your system, see the help in the package
 'hrbrthemes' on how to install 'Roboto Condensed'.

Download geographic shapes from the United States Census Bureau 
    TIGER/Line Shapefiles <https://www.census.gov/geographies/mapping-files/time-series/geo/tiger-line-file.html>.
    Functions support downloading and reading in geographic boundary data.
    All downloads can be set up with a cache to avoid multiple downloads.
    Data is available back to 2000 for most geographies.

Cluster data without specifying the number of clusters using the Table Invitation Prior (TIP) introduced in the paper "Clustering Gene Expression Using the Table Invitation Prior" by Charles W. Harrison, Qing He, and Hsin-Hsiung Huang (2022) <doi:10.3390/genes13112036>. TIP is a Bayesian prior that uses pairwise distance and similarity information to cluster vectors, matrices, or tensors.

Accurately estimates phase shifts by accounting for period
  changes and for the point in the circadian cycle at which the stimulus occurs.

Assists performing tip-dating of phylogenetic trees with BEAST 
    BEAST is a popular software for phylogenetic analysis.
    The package assists the implementation of various phylogenetic tip-
	dating tests using BEAST. It contains two main functions.
	The first one allows preparing date randomization analyses, 
	which assess the temporal signal of a data set. 
	The second function allows performing leave-one-out analyses,
	which test for the consistency between independent calibration sequences
	and allow pinpointing those leading to potential bias.
	The included tutorial provides detailed step-by-step instructions.
	An expanded description of the package can be found in article:
	Rieux, A. and Khatchikian, C.E. (2017), 
	TIPDATINGBEAST: an R package to assist the implementation of phylogenetic
	tip-dating tests using BEAST. Molecular Ecology Resources, 17: 608-613.
