Computation of various Markovian models for categorical data
    including homogeneous Markov chains of any order, MTD models, Hidden Markov
    models, and Double Chain Markov Models.

A set of tools for likelihood-based estimation, model selection and testing of two- and three-range shift and migration models for animal movement data as described in Gurarie et al. (2017) <doi: 10.1111/1365-2656.12674>.  Provided movement data (X, Y and Time), including irregularly sampled data, functions estimate the time, duration and location of one or two range shifts, as well as the ranging area and auto-correlation structure of the movment.  Tests assess, for example, whether the shift was "significant", and whether a two-shift migration was a true return migration.

Estimation of marginal hazard ratios in clustered failure time data. It implements the weighted generalized estimating equation approach based on a semiparametric marginal proportional hazards model (See Niu, Y. Peng, Y.(2015). "A new estimating equation approach for marginal hazard ratio estimation"), accounting for within-cluster correlations. 5 different correlation structures are supported. The package is designed for researchers in biostatistics and epidemiology who require accurate and efficient estimation methods for survival analysis in clustered data settings.

Datasets, constants, conversion factors, and utilities for 'MArine', 'Riverine',
             'Estuarine', 'LAcustrine' and 'Coastal' science. 
             The package contains among others: (1) chemical and
             physical constants and datasets, e.g. atomic weights, gas
             constants, the earths bathymetry; (2) conversion factors
             (e.g. gram to mol to liter, barometric units,
             temperature, salinity); (3) physical functions, e.g. to
             estimate concentrations of conservative substances, gas
             transfer and diffusion coefficients, the Coriolis force
             and gravity; (4) thermophysical properties of the
             seawater, as from the UNESCO polynomial or from the more
             recent derivation based on a Gibbs function.
