Mainly for maximum likelihood estimation of nonparametric
             and semiparametric mixture models, but can also be used
             for fitting finite mixtures. The algorithms are
             developed in Wang (2007)
             <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2007.00583.x> and Wang (2010)
             <doi:10.1007/s11222-009-9117-z>.

Two methods for performing a constrained principal
        component analysis (PCA), where non-negativity and/or sparsity
        constraints are enforced on the principal axes (PAs). The
        function 'nsprcomp' computes one principal component (PC) after
        the other. Each PA is optimized such that the corresponding PC
        has maximum additional variance not explained by the previous
        components. In contrast, the function 'nscumcomp' jointly
        computes all PCs such that the cumulative variance is maximal.
        Both functions have the same interface as the 'prcomp' function
        from the 'stats' package (plus some extra parameters), and both
        return the result of the analysis as an object of class
        'nsprcomp', which inherits from 'prcomp'. See

        and Sigg et al. (2008) <doi:10.1145/1390156.1390277> for more
        details.

Provides access to the 'Native Status Resolver' (NSR) <https://github.com/ojalaquellueva/nsr> API through R. The user supplies plant taxonomic names and political divisions and the package returns information about their likely native status (e.g., native, non-native,endemic), along with information on how those decisions were made.

A collection of statistical tools for objective (non-supervised) applications 
             of the Regional Frequency Analysis methods in hydrology. 
             The package refers to the index-value method and, more precisely, helps the
             hydrologist to: (1) regionalize the index-value; (2) form homogeneous regions 
             with similar growth curves; (3) fit distribution functions to the 
             empirical regional growth curves.
             Most of the methods are those described in the Flood Estimation Handbook 
            (Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, 1999, ISBN:9781906698003).
