Implements an algorithm for variable selection in high-dimensional linear regression using the "tilted correlation", a new way of measuring the contribution of each variable to the response which takes into account high correlations among the variables in a data-driven way.

Functions for estimation of wood volumes, number of logs, diameters along the stem and heights at which certain diameters occur, based on taper functions and other parameters. References: McTague, J. P., & Weiskittel, A. (2021). <doi:10.1139/cjfr-2020-0326>.

Provides data frames for forest or tree data structures. You can 
    create forest data structures from data frames and process them based on 
    their hierarchies.

Efficient routines for manipulation of date-time objects while
   accounting for time-zones and daylight saving times. The package includes
   utilities for updating of date-time components (year, month, day etc.),
   modification of time-zones, rounding of date-times, period addition and
   subtraction etc. Parts of the 'CCTZ' source code, released under the Apache
   2.0 License, are included in this package. See
   <https://github.com/google/cctz> for more details.

The 'timeDate' class fulfils the conventions of the ISO 8601 
	standard as well as of the ANSI C and POSIX standards. Beyond
	these standards it provides the "Financial Center" concept
	which allows to handle data records collected in different time 
	zones and mix them up to have always the proper time stamps with 
	respect to your personal financial center, or alternatively to the GMT
	reference time. It can thus also handle time stamps from historical 
	data records from the same time zone, even if the financial 
	centers changed day light saving times at different calendar
	dates.

We provide a toolbox to estimate the time delay between the brightness time series of gravitationally lensed quasar images via Bayesian and profile likelihood approaches. The model is based on a state-space representation for  irregularly observed time series data generated from a latent continuous-time Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Our Bayesian method adopts scientifically motivated hyper-prior distributions and a Metropolis-Hastings within Gibbs sampler, producing posterior samples of the model parameters that include the time delay. A profile likelihood of the time delay is a simple approximation to the marginal posterior distribution of the time delay. Both Bayesian and profile likelihood approaches complement each other, producing almost identical results; the Bayesian way is more principled but the profile likelihood is easier to implement. A new functionality is added in version 1.0.9 for estimating the time delay between doubly-lensed light curves observed in two bands. See also Tak et al. (2017) <doi:10.1214/17-AOAS1027>, Tak et al.
