A comprehensive suite of statistical tools for Quality Management, designed around the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) cycle used in Six Sigma methodology. Based on the discontinued CRAN package 'qualitytools', this package refactors its original design by incorporating 'R6' object-oriented programming for increased flexibility and performance. It replaces traditional graphics with modern, interactive visualizations using 'ggplot2' and 'plotly'. Built on 'tidyverse' principles, it simplifies data manipulation and visualization, offering an intuitive approach to quality science.

Functionality for performing a principled reference analysis in the Bayesian normal-normal hierarchical model used for Bayesian meta-analysis, as described in Ott, Plummer and Roos (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.9076>. Computes a reference posterior, induced by a minimally informative improper reference prior for the between-study (heterogeneity) standard deviation. Determines additional proper anti-conservative (and conservative) prior benchmarks. Includes functions for reference analyses at both the posterior and the prior level, which, given the data, quantify the informativeness of a heterogeneity prior of interest relative to the minimally informative reference prior and the proper prior benchmarks. The functions operate on data sets which are compatible with the 'bayesmeta' package.

Facilitates the design and generation of optimal color (or symbol) codes that can be used to mark and identify individual animals. These codes are made such that the IDs are robust to partial erasure: even if sections of the code are lost, the entire identity of the animal can be reconstructed. Thus, animal subjects are not confused and no ambiguity is introduced.

Conduct simulations of the Response Adaptive Block Randomization (RABR) design to evaluate its type I error rate, power and operating characteristics for binary and continuous endpoints. For more details of the proposed method, please refer to Zhan et al. (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.9104>.
