Functions to calculate the relative crystallinity of starch by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Starch is biosynthesized by plants in the form of granules semicrystalline. For XRD, the relative crystallinity is obtained by separating the crystalline peaks from the amorphous scattering region. For FTIR, the relative crystallinity is achieved by setting of a Gaussian holocrystalline-peak in the 800-1300 cm-1 region of FTIR spectrum of starch which is divided into amorphous region and crystalline region. The relative crystallinity of native starch granules varies from 14 of 45 percent. This package was supported by FONDECYT 3150630 and CIPA Conicyt-Regional R08C1002 is gratefully acknowledged.

Integration of Earth system data from various sources is a challenging task. Except for their qualitative heterogeneity, different data records exist for describing similar Earth system process at different spatio-temporal scales. Data inter-comparison and validation are usually performed at a single spatial or temporal scale, which could hamper the identification of potential discrepancies in other scales. 'csa' package offers a simple, yet efficient, graphical method for synthesizing and comparing observed and modelled data across a range of spatio-temporal scales. Instead of focusing at specific scales, such as annual means or original grid resolution, we examine how their statistical properties change across spatio-temporal continuum.

Helps create alerts and determine trends by using various methods to analyze public health surveillance data. The primary analysis method is based upon a published analytics strategy by Benedetti (2019) <doi:10.5588/pha.19.0002>.

Implements Monte Carlo conditional inference for the parameters of a linear nonnormal regression model.

Calculate the confidence interval and p value for change in C-statistic. The adjusted C-statistic is calculated by using formula as "Somers' Dxy rank correlation"/2+0.5. The confidence interval was calculated by using the bootstrap method. The p value was calculated by using the Z testing method. Please refer to the article of Peter Ganz et al. (2016) <doi:10.1001/jama.2016.5951>.
