Calculate parametric mortality and Fertility models, following packages 'BaSTA' in Colchero, Jones and Rebke (2012) <doi:10.1111/j.2041-210X.2012.00186.x> and 'BaFTA' <https://github.com/fercol/BaFTA>, summary statistics (e.g. ageing rates, life expectancy, lifespan equality, etc.), life table and product limit estimators from census data.

Utilities for processing the parameters of various
    statistical models. Beyond computing p values, CIs, and other indices
    for a wide variety of models (see list of supported models using the
    function 'insight::supported_models()'), this package implements
    features like bootstrapping or simulating of parameters and models,
    feature reduction (feature extraction and variable selection) as well
    as functions to describe data and variable characteristics (e.g.
    skewness, kurtosis, smoothness or distribution).

Allows specification and fitting of some parameter estimation
    examples inspired by time-resolved spectroscopy via a Shiny GUI.

Functions for parameter descriptions and operations in
    black-box optimization, tuning and machine learning. Parameters can be
    described (type, constraints, defaults, etc.), combined to parameter
    sets and can in general be programmed on. A useful OptPath object
    (archive) to log function evaluations is also provided.

Performs statistical tests to compare coefficients and residual 
    variance across models. Also provides graphical methods for 
    assessing heterogeneity in coefficients and residuals. Currently supports 
    linear and generalized linear models.

A convenient framework for aggregating and disaggregating continuously
    varying parameters (for example, case fatality ratio, with age) for proper
    parametrization of lower-resolution compartmental models (for example, with
    broad age categories) and subsequent upscaling of model outputs to high resolution
    (for example, as needed when calculating age-sensitive measures like years-life-lost).

NOTE: 'PARAMLINK' HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE 'PEDSUITE'
    PACKAGES (<https://magnusdv.github.io/pedsuite/>). 'PARAMLINK' IS
    MAINTAINED ONLY FOR LEGACY PURPOSES AND SHOULD NOT BE USED IN NEW
    PROJECTS. A suite of tools for analysing pedigrees with marker data,
    including parametric linkage analysis, forensic computations,
    relatedness analysis and marker simulations. The core of the package
    is an implementation of the Elston-Stewart algorithm for pedigree
    likelihoods, extended to allow mutations as well as complex
    inbreeding. Features for linkage analysis include singlepoint LOD
    scores, power analysis, and multipoint analysis (the latter through a
    wrapper to the 'MERLIN' software). Forensic applications include
    exclusion probabilities, genotype distributions and conditional
    simulations. Data from the 'Familias' software can be imported and
    analysed in 'paramlink'. Finally, 'paramlink' offers many utility
    functions for creating, manipulating and plotting pedigrees with or
    without marker data (the actual plotting is done by the 'kinship2'
    package).
