Suite of utilities for accessing and manipulating
    data from the 'KoboToolbox' API. 'KoboToolbox' is a robust
    platform designed for field data collection in various disciplines.
    This package aims to simplify the process of fetching and handling
    data from the API. Detailed documentation for the 'KoboToolbox' API
    can be found at <https://support.kobotoolbox.org/api.html>.

Provides functions to download and parse 'robots.txt' files.
        Ultimately the package makes it easy to check if bots
        (spiders, crawler, scrapers, ...) are allowed to access specific
        resources on a domain.

Performs both classical and robust panel clustering by applying Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction and clustering via standard K-Means or Trimmed K-Means. The method is designed to ensure stable and reliable clustering, even in the presence of outliers. Suitable for analyzing panel data in domains such as economic research, financial time-series, healthcare analytics, and social sciences. The package allows users to choose between classical K-Means for standard clustering and Trimmed K-Means for robust clustering, making it a flexible tool for various applications. For this package, we have benefited from the studies Rencher (2003), Wang and Lu (2021) <DOI:10.25236/AJBM.2021.031018>, Cuesta-Albertos et al. (1997) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2242558?seq=1>.

Calculates periodograms based on (robustly) fitting periodic functions to light curves (irregularly observed time series, possibly with measurement accuracies, occurring in astroparticle physics). Three main functions are included: RobPer() calculates the periodogram. Outlying periodogram bars (indicating a period) can be detected with betaCvMfit(). Artificial light curves can be generated using the function tsgen().

The minimum covariance determinant estimator is used to perform robust quadratic discriminant analysis, including cross-validation. References: Friedman J., Hastie T. and Tibshirani R. (2009). "The elements of statistical learning", 2nd edition. Springer, Berlin. <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-84858-7>.
