A more extensive methodological introduction that inspired the development of the voiceR package is provided in Hildebrand et al. 2020 <doi:10.1016/j.jbusres.2020.09.020>.

ANOVA and REML estimation of linear mixed models is implemented, once following Searle et al. (1991, ANOVA for unbalanced data), once making use of the lme4 package. The primary objective of this package is to perform a variance component analysis (VCA) according to CLSI EP05-A3 guideline "Evaluation of Precision of Quantitative Measurement Procedures" (2014). There are plotting methods for visualization of an experimental design, plotting random effects and residuals. For ANOVA type estimation two methods for computing ANOVA mean squares are implemented (SWEEP and quadratic forms). The covariance matrix of variance components can be derived, which is used in estimating confidence intervals. Linear hypotheses of fixed effects and LS means can be computed. LS means can be computed at specific values of covariables and with custom weighting schemes for factor variables. See ?VCA for a more comprehensive description of the features.

The Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model is a macroscale hydrologic model that solves full water and energy balances, originally developed by Xu Liang at the University of Washington (UW). The version of VIC source code used is of 5.0.1 on <https://github.com/UW-Hydro/VIC/>, see Hamman et al. (2018). Development and maintenance of the current official version of the VIC model at present is led by the UW Hydro (Computational Hydrology group) in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UW. VIC is a research model and in its various forms it has been applied to most of the major river basins around the world, as well as globally <http://vic.readthedocs.io/en/master/Documentation/References/>.

Facilitates modeling species ecological niches and geographic distributions based on occurrences and environments that have a vertical as well as horizontal component, and projecting models into three-dimensional geographic space. Working in three dimensions is useful in an aquatic context when the organisms one wishes to model can be found across a wide range of depths in the water column. The package also contains functions to automatically generate marine training model training regions using machine learning, and interpolate and smooth patchily sampled environmental rasters using thin plate splines.

Automatically selects and visualises statistical hypothesis tests between two vectors, based on their class, distribution, sample size, and a user-defined confidence level (conf.level). Visual outputs - including box plots, bar charts, regression lines with confidence bands, mosaic plots, residual plots, and Q-Q plots - are annotated with relevant test statistics, assumption checks, and post-hoc analyses where applicable. The algorithmic workflow helps the user focus on the interpretation of test results rather than test selection. It is particularly suited for quick data analysis, e.g., in statistical consulting projects or educational settings. The test selection algorithm proceeds as follows: Input vectors of class numeric or integer are considered numerical; those of class factor are considered categorical. Assumptions of residual normality and homogeneity of variances are considered met if the corresponding test yields a p-value greater than the significance level alpha = 1 - conf.level. (1) When the response vector is numerical and the predictor vector is categorical, a test of central tendencies is selected. If the categorical predictor has exactly two levels, t.test() is applied when group sizes exceed 30 (Lumley et al. (2002) <doi:10.1146/annurev.publhealth.23.100901.140546>). For smaller samples, normality of residuals is tested using shapiro.test(); if met, t.test() is used; otherwise, wilcox.test(). If the predictor is categorical with more than two levels, an aov() is initially fitted. Residual normality is evaluated using both shapiro.test() and ad.test(); residuals are considered approximately normal if at least one test yields a p-value above alpha. If this assumption is met, bartlett.test() assesses variance homogeneity. If variances are homogeneous, aov() is used; otherwise oneway.test(). Both tests are followed by TukeyHSD(). If residual normality cannot be assumed, kruskal.test() is followed by pairwise.wilcox.test(). (2) When both the response and predictor vectors are numerical, a simple linear regression model is fitted using lm(). (3) When both vectors are categorical, Cochran's rule (Cochran (1954) <doi:10.2307/3001666>) is applied to test independence either by chisq.test() or fisher.test().

This package provides an R interface for interacting with the Tableau Server. It allows users to perform various operations such as publishing workbooks, refreshing data extracts, and managing users using the Tableau REST API (see <https://help.tableau.com/current/api/rest_api/en-us/REST/rest_api_ref.htm> for details). Additionally, it includes functions to perform manipulations on local Tableau workbooks.

This package performs modeling and forecasting of park visitor counts using social media data and (partial) on-site visitor counts. Specifically, the model is built based on an automatic decomposition of the trend and seasonal components of the social media-based park visitor counts, from which short-term forecasts of the visitor counts and percent changes in the visitor counts can be made. A reference for the underlying model that VisitorCounts uses can be found at Russell Goebel, Austin Schmaltz, Beth Ann Brackett, Spencer A. Wood, Kimihiro Noguchi (2023) <doi:10.1002/for.2965> .
