Provides curated early warning data on landslides in Sri Lanka during the Ditwah storm. 
             It includes structured, machine-readable tidy dataset. This is developed for education and research purposes.

Facilitate the analysis of teams in a corporate setting:
    assess the diversity per grade and job, present the results,
    search for bias (in hiring and/or promoting processes).
    It also provides methods to simulate the effect of bias, random team-data, etc.

Functions to describe sampling and diversity dynamics of fossil occurrence datasets (e.g. from the Paleobiology Database). The package includes methods to calculate range- and occurrence-based metrics of taxonomic richness, extinction and origination rates, along with traditional sampling measures. A powerful subsampling tool is also included that implements frequently used sampling standardization methods in a multiple bin-framework. The plotting of time series and the occurrence data can be simplified by the functions incorporated in the package, as well as other calculations, such as environmental affinities and extinction selectivity testing. Details can be found in: Kocsis, A.T.; Reddin, C.J.; Alroy, J. and Kiessling, W. (2019) <doi:10.1101/423780>.

Contains functions for the 'DivE' estimator <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003646>. The 'DivE' estimator is a heuristic approach to estimate the number of classes or the number of species (species richness) in a population.

Utilities to represent, visualize, filter, analyse, and summarize
	     time-depth recorder (TDR) data.  Miscellaneous functions for
	     handling location data are also provided.

Measurement and partitioning of diversity, based on Tsallis entropy, following Marcon and Herault (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v067.i08>.
  'divent' provides functions to estimate alpha, beta and gamma diversity of communities, including phylogenetic and functional diversity.
