Prediction of claim counts using the feature based development factors introduced in the manuscript Hiabu M., Hofman E. and Pittarello G. (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.14549>. 
             Implementation of Neural Networks, Extreme Gradient Boosting, 
             and Cox model with splines to optimise the partial log-likelihood of proportional hazard models.

Implements the regularized exponentially tilted empirical 
    likelihood method. Details of the method are given in Kim, MacEachern, and 
    Peruggia (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.17015>. This work was supported by 
    the U.S. National Science Foundation under Grants No. SES-1921523 and

Implementation of the race/ethnicity prediction method, described 
    in "rethnicity: An R package for predicting ethnicity from names" 
    by Fangzhou Xie (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2021.100965> and 
    "Rethnicity: Predicting Ethnicity from Names" 
    by Fangzhou Xie (2021) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2109.09228>.

Interface to 'Python' modules, classes, and functions. When calling
    into 'Python', R data types are automatically converted to their equivalent 'Python'
    types. When values are returned from 'Python' to R they are converted back to R
    types. Compatible with all versions of 'Python' >= 2.7.

Retime speech signals with a native Waveform Similarity Overlap-Add (WSOLA) implementation translated from the 'TSM toolbox' by Driedger & Müller (2014) <https://www.audiolabs-erlangen.de/content/resources/MIR/TSMtoolbox/2014_DriedgerMueller_TSM-Toolbox_DAFX.pdf>. Design retimings and pitch (f0) transformations with tidy data and apply them via 'Praat' interface. Produce spectrograms, spectra, and amplitude envelopes. Includes implementation of vocalic speech envelope analysis (fft_spectrum) technique and example data (mm1) from Tilsen, S., & Johnson, K. (2008) <doi:10.1121/1.2947626>.

Reconstructs retinae by morphing a flat surface with cuts
    (a dissected flat-mount retina) onto a curvilinear surface (the
    standard retinal shape). It can estimate the position of a point
    on the intact adult retina to within 8 degrees of arc (3.6% of
    nasotemporal axis). The coordinates in reconstructed retinae can
    be transformed to visuotopic coordinates. For more details see
