Functions to assess the strength and statistical significance of the relationship between species occurrence/abundance and groups of sites [De Caceres & Legendre (2009) <doi:10.1890/08-1823.1>]. Also includes functions to measure species niche breadth using resource categories [De Caceres et al. (2011) <doi:10.1111/J.1600-0706.2011.19679.x>].

Simplifies the generation of customized R Markdown PDF templates.
    A template may include an individual logo, typography, geometry or color
    scheme. The package provides a skeleton with detailed instructions for
    customizations. The skeleton can be modified by changing defaults in the
    'YAML' header, by adding additional 'LaTeX' commands or by applying dynamic
    adjustments in R. Individual corporate design elements, such as a title page, can be added as R functions that produce 'LaTeX' code.

Functions are provided to facilitate prior elicitation for Bayesian generalised linear models using independent conditional means priors. The package supports the elicitation of multivariate normal priors for generalised linear models. The approach can be applied to indirect elicitation for a generalised linear model that is linear in the parameters. The package is designed such that the facilitator executes functions within the R console during the elicitation session to provide graphical and numerical feedback at each design point. Various methodologies for eliciting fractiles (equivalently, percentiles or quantiles) are supported, including versions of the approach of Hosack et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.ress.2017.06.011>. For example, experts may be asked to provide central credible intervals that correspond to a certain probability. Or experts may be allowed to vary the probability allocated to the central credible interval for each design point. Additionally, a median may or may not be elicited.

Performs a unified approach for obtaining and estimating
    unidimensional  and multidimensional Item Response Theory (IRT) 
    Dual Models (DMs), proposed by Ferrando (2019 <doi:10.1177/0146621618817779>).
