Estimate population kin counts and its distribution by type, age and sex.
    The package implements one-sex and two-sex framework for studying living-death availability,
    with time varying rates or not, and multi-stage model.

Mimics the demo functionality for 'Shiny' apps in a package. Apps stored to the package subdirectory inst/shiny can be called by demoShiny(topic).

A comprehensive set of wrapper functions for the analysis of multiplex metabarcode data. It includes robust wrappers for 'Cutadapt' and 'DADA2' to trim primers, filter reads, perform amplicon sequence variant (ASV) inference, and assign taxonomy. The package can handle single metabarcode datasets, datasets with two pooled metabarcodes, or multiple datasets simultaneously. The final output is a matrix per metabarcode, containing both ASV abundance data and associated taxonomic assignments. An optional function converts these matrices into 'phyloseq' and 'taxmap' objects. For more information on 'DADA2', including information on how DADA2 infers samples sequences, see Callahan et al. (2016) <doi:10.1038/nmeth.3869>. For more details on the demulticoder R package see Sudermann et al. (2025) <doi:10.1094/PHYTO-02-25-0043-FI>.

Offers a set of functions for extending
    'dendrogram' objects in R, letting you visualize and compare trees of
    'hierarchical clusterings'. You can (1) Adjust a tree's graphical parameters
    - the color, size, type, etc of its branches, nodes and labels. (2)
    Visually and statistically compare different 'dendrograms' to one another.

There are various functions for managing and cleaning data before the application of different approaches. This includes identifying and erasing sudden jumps in dendrometer data not related to environmental change, identifying the time gaps of recordings, and changing the temporal resolution of data to different frequencies. Furthermore, the package calculates daily statistics of dendrometer data, including the daily amplitude of tree growth. Various approaches can be applied to separate radial growth from daily cyclic shrinkage and expansion due to uptake and loss of stem water. In addition, it identifies periods of consecutive days with user-defined climatic conditions in daily meteorological data, then check what trees are doing during that period.
