Improves the interpretation of the Standardized Precipitation
    Index under changing climate conditions. The package uses the
    nonstationary approach proposed in Blain et al. (2022)
    <doi:10.1002/joc.7550> to detect trends in rainfall quantities and to
    quantify the effect of such trends on the probability of a drought event
    occurring.

Extracts and summarizes metadata from data frames, including variable names, labels, types, and missing values. Computes compact descriptive statistics, frequency tables, and cross-tabulations to assist with efficient data exploration. Includes an interactive and exportable codebook generator for documenting variable metadata. Facilitates the identification of missing data patterns and structural issues in datasets. Designed to streamline initial data management and exploratory analysis workflows within 'R'.

Analysis of species limits and DNA barcoding data. Included are functions for generating important summary statistics from DNA barcode data, assessing specimen identification efficacy, testing and optimizing divergence threshold limits, assessment of diagnostic nucleotides, and calculation of the probability of reciprocal monophyly. Additionally, a sliding window function offers opportunities to analyse information across a gene, often used for marker design in degraded DNA studies. Further information on the package has been published in Brown et al (2012) <doi:10.1111/j.1755-0998.2011.03108.x>.

The 'Robots Exclusion Protocol' <https://www.robotstxt.org/orig.html> documents
    a set of standards for allowing or excluding robot/spider crawling of different areas of
    site content. Tools are provided which wrap The 'rep-cpp' <https://github.com/seomoz/rep-cpp>
    C++ library for processing these 'robots.txt' files.
