Compute bootstrap confidence intervals for the adjusted Schnabel and Schumacher-Eschmeyer multi-visit mark-recapture estimators based on Dettloff (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.fishres.2023.106756>.

Compute and select tuning parameters for the MRCE estimator proposed by Rothman, Levina, and Zhu (2010) <doi:10.1198/jcgs.2010.09188>.  This estimator fits the multiple output linear regression model with a sparse estimator of the error precision matrix and a sparse estimator of the regression coefficient matrix.

Detect outlying observations in functional data sets based on the minimum regularized covariance trace (MRCT) estimator. Includes implementation of Oguamalam et al. (2023) <arXiv:2307.13509>.

Animal abundance estimation via conventional, multiple covariate
    and mark-recapture distance sampling (CDS/MCDS/MRDS). Detection function
    fitting is performed via maximum likelihood. Also included are diagnostics
    and plotting for fitted detection functions. Abundance estimation is via a
    Horvitz-Thompson-like estimator.

Implements the methods described in Bond S, Farewell V, 2006, Exact Likelihood Estimation for a Negative Binomial Regression Model with Missing Outcomes, Biometrics.

Forecasting of univariate time series using feature extraction with variable prediction methods is provided. Feature extraction is done with a redundant Haar wavelet transform with filter h = (0.5, 0.5). The advantage of the approach compared to typical Fourier based methods is an dynamic adaptation to varying seasonalities. Currently implemented prediction methods based on the selected wavelets levels and scales are a regression and a multi-layer perceptron. Forecasts can be computed for horizon 1 or higher. Model selection is performed with an evolutionary optimization. Selection criteria are currently the AIC criterion, the Mean Absolute Error or the Mean Root Error. The data is split into three parts for model selection: Training, test, and evaluation dataset. The training data is for computing the weights of a parameter set. The test data is for choosing the best parameter set. The evaluation data is for assessing the forecast performance of the best parameter set on new data unknown to the model.
