Tools to build and work with bilateral generalized-mean
    price indexes (and by extension quantity indexes), and indexes composed of
    generalized-mean indexes (e.g., superlative quadratic-mean indexes, GEKS).
    Covers the core mathematical machinery for making bilateral price indexes,
    computing price relatives, detecting outliers, and decomposing indexes,
    with wrappers for all common (and many uncommon) index-number
    formulas. Implements and extends many of the methods in
    Balk (2008, <doi:10.1017/CBO9780511720758>), von der Lippe (2007,
    <doi:10.3726/978-3-653-01120-3>), and the CPI manual (2020,
    <doi:10.5089/9781484354841.069>).

Collection of datasets as prepared by Profs. A.P. Gore, S.A. Paranjape, and M.B. Kulkarni of Department of Statistics, Poona University, India. With their permission, first letter of their names forms the name of this package, the package has been built by me and made available for the benefit of R users. This collection requires a rich class of models and can be a very useful building block for a beginner.

Build Open Geospatial Consortium 'GeoPackage' files (<https://www.geopackage.org/>). 'GDAL' utilities for reading and writing spatial data are provided by the 'terra' package. Additional 'GeoPackage' and 'SQLite' features for attributes and tabular data are implemented with the 'RSQLite' package.

Implements the most common Gaussian process (GP) models using Laplace and
  expectation propagation (EP) approximations, maximum marginal likelihood
  (or posterior) inference for the hyperparameters, and sparse approximations
  for larger datasets.

Provides functions for estimating a generalized partial
	     linear model, a semiparametric variant of the generalized linear model
	     (GLM) which replaces the linear predictor by the sum of a linear
	     and a nonparametric function.
