Function to test spatial segregation and association based in contingency table analysis of nearest neighbour counts following Dixon (2002) <doi:10.1080/11956860.2002.11682700>. Some 'Fortran' code has been included to the original dixon2002() function of the 'ecespa' package to improve speed.

For outlier detection in small and normally distributed 
    samples the ratio test of Dixon (Q-test) can be used. Density,
    distribution function, quantile function and random generation 
    for Dixon's ratio statistics are provided as wrapper functions.
    The core applies McBane's Fortran functions <doi:10.18637/jss.v016.i03> 
    that use Gaussian quadrature for a numerical solution.

An R package for iterative and batched record linkage, 
    and applying epidemiological case definitions.
    'diyar' can be used for deterministic and probabilistic record linkage, 
    or multistage record linkage combining both approaches.
    It features the implementation of nested match criteria, and mechanisms to 
    address missing data and conflicting matches during stepwise record linkage.
    Case definitions are implemented by assigning records to groups based on 
    match criteria such as person or place, and overlapping time or duration of 
    events e.g. sample collection dates or periods of hospital stays.
    Matching records are assigned a unique group ID. Index and duplicate records 
    are removed or further analyses as required.

Lightweight utility functions used for the R package
    development infrastructure inside the data integration centers ('DIZ')
    to standardize and facilitate repetitive tasks such as setting up a
    database connection or issuing notification messages and to avoid
    redundancy.
