Extracts growth, survival, and local neighborhood density 
  information from repeated, fine-scale maps of organism occurrence. Further 
  information about this package can be found in our journal article, 
  "plantTracker: An R package to translate maps of plant occurrence into 
  demographic data" published in 2022 in Methods in Ecology and Evolution 
  (Stears, et al., 2022) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13950>.

Estimation, prediction, thresholding, transformation, and plotting for partially linear additive quantile regression.  Intuitive functions for fitting and plotting partially linear additive quantile regression models.  Uses and works with functions from the 'quantreg' package.
