Implements area level of multivariate small area estimation using Hierarchical Bayesian method under Normal and T distribution. The 'rjags' package is employed to obtain parameter estimates. For the reference, see Rao and Molina (2015) <doi:10.1002/9781118735855>.

Multi-step adaptive elastic-net (MSAENet) algorithm for
    feature selection in high-dimensional regressions proposed in
    Xiao and Xu (2015) <DOI:10.1080/00949655.2015.1016944>,
    with support for multi-step adaptive MCP-net (MSAMNet) and
    multi-step adaptive SCAD-net (MSASNet) methods.

The new methodology "moving subset analysis" provides functions to investigate the effect of environmental conditions on the CO2 fertilization effect within longterm free air carbon enrichment (FACE)  experiments. In general, the functionality is applicable to derive the influence of a third variable (forcing experiment-support variable) on the relation between a dependent and an independent variable.

Estimates the sample size needed to detect microbial contamination 
 in a lot with a user-specified detection probability and user-specified analytical sensitivity.
 Various patterns of microbial contamination are accounted for: homogeneous (Poisson), 
 heterogeneous (Poisson-Gamma) or localized(Zero-inflated Poisson).

Visualizes multiple sequence alignments dynamically within the
    Shiny web application framework.

Common mass spectrometry tools described in John Roboz (2013) <doi:10.1201/b15436>. It allows checking element
 isotopes, calculating (isotope labelled) exact monoisitopic mass, m/z values and mass accuracy, and inspecting possible contaminant mass peaks,
 examining possible adducts in electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI)
 ion sources.
