Computerized tomography (CT) can be used to assess certain wood properties when wood disks or logs are scanned. Wood density profiles (i.e. variations of wood density from pith to bark) can yield important information used for studies in forest resource assessment, wood quality and dendrochronology studies. The first step consists in transforming grey values from the scan images to density values. The packages then proposes a unique method to automatically locate the pith by combining an adapted Hough Transform method and a one-dimensional edge detector. Tree ring profiles (average ring density, earlywood and latewood density, ring width and percent latewood for each ring) are then obtained.

Computes Chernoff's distribution based on the method in Piet Groeneboom & Jon A Wellner (2001) Computing Chernoff's Distribution, Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, 10:2, 388-400, <doi:10.1198/10618600152627997>. Chernoff's distribution is defined as the distribution of the maximizer of the two-sided Brownian motion minus quadratic drift. That is, Z = argmax (B(t)-t^2).

Covariance is of universal prevalence across various disciplines within statistics. We provide a rich collection of geometric and inferential tools for convenient analysis of covariance structures, topics including distance measures, mean covariance estimator, covariance hypothesis test for one-sample and two-sample cases, and covariance estimation. For an introduction to covariance in multivariate statistical analysis, see Schervish (1987) <doi:10.1214/ss/1177013111>.

This package performs simulation-based inference as an alternative to the delta method for obtaining valid confidence intervals and p-values for regression post-estimation quantities, such as average marginal effects and predictions at representative values. This framework for simulation-based inference is especially useful when the resulting quantity is not normally distributed and the delta method approximation fails. The methodology is described in Greifer, et al. (2025) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2024-015>. clarify is meant to replace some of the functionality of the archived package Zelig'; see the vignette "Translating Zelig to clarify" for replicating this functionality.

Various cladogenesis-related calculations that are slow in pure R are implemented in C++ with Rcpp. These include the calculation of the probability of various scenarios for the inheritance of geographic range at the divergence events on a phylogenetic tree, and other calculations necessary for models which are not continuous-time markov chains (CTMC), but where change instead occurs instantaneously at speciation events. Typically these models must assess the probability of every possible combination of (ancestor state, left descendent state, right descendent state). This means that there are up to (# of states)^3 combinations to investigate, and in biogeographical models, there can easily be hundreds of states, so calculation time becomes an issue. C++ implementation plus clever tricks (many combinations can be eliminated a priori) can greatly speed the computation time over naive R implementations.
