Functions to be used in conjunction with the 'Sequential' package that allows for planning of observational database studies that will be analyzed with exact sequential analysis. This package supports Poisson- and binomial-based data. The primary function, seq_wrapper(...), accepts parameters for simulation of a simple exposure pattern and for the 'Sequential' package setup and analysis functions. The exposure matrix is used to simulate the true and false positive and negative populations (Green (1983) <doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a113521>, Brenner (1993) <doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a116805>). Functions are then run from the 'Sequential' package on these populations, which allows for the exploration of outcome misclassification in data.

Multi-generational pedigree inference from incomplete data on
    hundreds of SNPs, including parentage assignment and sibship clustering.

Apache Drill is a low-latency distributed query engine designed to enable 
    data exploration and analysis on both relational and non-relational data stores, 
    scaling to petabytes of data. Methods are provided that enable working with Apache 
    Drill instances via the REST API, DBI methods
    and using 'dplyr'/'dbplyr' idioms. Helper functions are included to facilitate
    using official Drill Docker images/containers.

Enables reading and writing binary and ASCII data to 
             RS232/RS422/RS485 or any other virtual serial interface of the
             computer.

Infrastructure for ordering objects with an implementation of several
    seriation/sequencing/ordination techniques to reorder matrices, dissimilarity
    matrices, and dendrograms. Also provides (optimally) reordered heatmaps,
    color images and clustering visualizations like dissimilarity plots, and
    visual assessment of cluster tendency plots (VAT and iVAT). Hahsler et al (2008) <doi:10.18637/jss.v025.i03>.

Calculate and compare lower confidence bounds for binomial series system reliability. The R 'shiny' application, launched by the function launch_app(), weaves together a workflow of customized simulations and delta coverage calculations to output recommended lower confidence bound methods.
