This is a collection of functions for converting coordinates between WGS84UTM, WGS84GEO, HK80UTM, HK80GEO and HK1980GRID Coordinate Systems used in Hong Kong SAR, based on the algorithms described in Explanatory Notes on Geodetic Datums in Hong Kong by Survey and Mapping Office Lands Department, Hong Kong Government (1995).

Datasets related to Hong Kong, including information on the 2019 elected District Councillors (<https://www.districtcouncils.gov.hk> and <https://dce2019.hk01.com/>) and traffic collision data from the Hong Kong Department of Transport (<https://www.td.gov.hk/>). All
    of the data in this package is available in the public domain.

Several procedures for the hierarchical kernel extreme value process of Reich and Shaby (2012) <DOI:10.1214/12-AOAS591>, including simulation, estimation and spatial extrapolation. The spatial latent variable model <DOI:10.1214/11-STS376> is also included.

A streamlined tool for eplet analysis of donor and recipient HLA (human leukocyte antigen) mismatch. Messy, low-resolution HLA typing data is cleaned, and imputed to high-resolution using the NMDP (National Marrow Donor Program) haplotype reference database <https://haplostats.org/haplostats>. High resolution data is analyzed for overall or single antigen eplet mismatch using a reference table (currently supporting 'HLAMatchMaker' <http://www.epitopes.net> versions 2 and 3). Data can enter or exit the workflow at different points depending on the user's aims and initial data quality.
