Set of tools for reading, writing and transforming spatial and seasonal data, model selection and specific statistical tests for ecologists. It includes functions to interpolate regular positions of points between landmarks, to discretize polylines into regular point positions, link distant observations to points and convert a bounding box in a spatial object. It also provides miscellaneous functions for field ecologists such as spatial statistics and inference on diversity indexes, writing data.frame with Chinese characters.

Nonparametric density estimation for (hyper)spherical data by means of a parametrically guided kernel estimator (Alonso-Pena et al. (2024) <doi:10.1111/sjos.12737>. The package also allows the data-driven selection of the smoothing parameter and the representation of the estimated density for circular and spherical data. Estimators of the density without guide can also be obtained.

Estimation of panel models for glm-like models:
             this includes binomial models (logit and probit), count models (poisson and negbin)
	     and ordered models (logit and probit), as described in:

Implements recursive construction methods for balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs), their second generation, resolvable BIBDs (RBIBDs), and uniform designs (UDs) derived from projective geometries over GF(2). It enables extraction of nested structures in multiple stages and supports recursive resolution processes, as introduced in Boudraa et al. (2013).

Carries out model-based clustering or classification using parsimonious Gaussian mixture models.
