Airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) interface for data
    manipulation and visualization. Read/write 'las' and 'laz' files, computation
    of metrics in area based approach, point filtering, artificial point reduction,
    classification from geographic data, normalization, individual tree segmentation
    and other manipulations.

Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) data
    sets by Lievens et al. (2012) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkr775>. Provides one
    single tabular tidy data set in long format, encompassing three
    dilution series, targeted against the soybean Lectin endogene. Each dilution
    series was assayed in one of the following PCR-efficiency-modifying
    conditions: no PCR inhibition, inhibition by isopropanol and inhibition by
    tannic acid. The inhibitors were co-diluted along with the dilution series.
    The co-dilution series consists of a five-point, five-fold serial dilution.
    For each concentration there are 18 replicates. Each amplification
    curve is 60 cycles long. Original raw data file is available at the 
    Supplementary Data section at Nucleic Acids Research Online <doi:10.1093/nar/gkr775>.

Classes and methods that allow the user to manage life table,
    actuarial tables (also multiple decrements tables). Moreover, functions to easily
    perform demographic, financial and actuarial mathematics on life contingencies
    insurances calculations are contained therein. See Spedicato (2013)	<doi:10.18637/jss.v055.i10>.

Provides in built datasets and three functions.
  These functions are mobility_index, nonStanTest and linkedLives.  The mobility_index
  function facilitates the calculation of lifecourse fluidity, whilst the nonStanTest and the 
  linkedLives functions allow the user to determine the probability that the observed sequence data 
  was due to chance.  The linkedLives function acknowledges the fact that some individuals may
  have identical sequences.
  The datasets available provide sequence data on marital status(maritalData) 
  and mobility (mydata) for a selected group of individuals from the British Household Panel Study
  (BHPS).  In addition, personal and house ID's for 100 individuals are provided in a 
  third dataset (myHouseID) from the BHPS.
