The fossil record is a joint expression of ecological, taphonomic, evolutionary, and stratigraphic processes (Holland and Patzkowsky, 2012, ISBN:978-0226649382). This package allowing to simulate biological processes in the time domain (e.g., trait evolution, fossil abundance, phylogenetic trees), and examine how their expression in the rock record (stratigraphic domain) is influenced based on age-depth models, ecological niche models, and taphonomic effects. Functions simulating common processes used in modeling trait evolution, biostratigraphy or event type data such as first/last occurrences are provided and can be used standalone or as part of a pipeline. The package comes with example data sets and tutorials in several vignettes, which can be used as a template to set up one's own simulation.

This package provides a toolkit for common statistical analyses including descriptive statistics, Student's t-tests (one-sample, independent, and paired), one-way and two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), chi-square tests, correlation analysis, and simple linear regression. Each function automatically interprets results in plain English, reporting effect sizes (Cohen's d, eta-squared, Cramer's V, R-squared), confidence intervals, and p-value interpretations. Post-hoc Tukey Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) tests are automatically applied following significant ANOVA results. A master function automatically detects the appropriate test based on the structure of the input data. Methods are based on Cohen, J. (1988) <doi:10.4324/9780203771587>, Tukey, J. W. (1949) <doi:10.2307/3001913>, and Shapiro and Wilk (1965) <doi:10.2307/2333709>.

Collision Risk Models for avian fauna (seabird and migratory birds) at offshore wind farms. The base deterministic model is derived from Band (2012) <https://tethys.pnnl.gov/publications/using-collision-risk-model-assess-bird-collision-risks-offshore-wind-farms>. This was further expanded on by Masden (2015) <doi:10.7489/1659-1> and code used here is heavily derived from this work with input from Dr A. Cook at the British Trust for Ornithology. These collision risk models are useful for marine ornithologists who are working in the offshore wind industry, particularly in UK waters. However, many of the species included in the stochastic collision risk models can also be found in the North Atlantic in the United States and Canada, and could be applied there.

Practitioners of Bayesian statistics often use Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samplers to sample from a posterior distribution. This package determines whether the MCMC sample is large enough to yield reliable estimates of the target distribution. In particular, this calculates a Gelman-Rubin convergence diagnostic using stable and consistent estimators of Monte Carlo variance. Additionally, this uses the connection between an MCMC sample's effective sample size and the Gelman-Rubin diagnostic to produce a threshold for terminating MCMC simulation. Finally, this informs the user whether enough samples have been collected and (if necessary) estimates the number of samples needed for a desired level of accuracy. The theory underlying these methods can be found in "Revisiting the Gelman-Rubin Diagnostic" by Vats and Knudson (2018) <arXiv:1812:09384>.

Facilitates probabilistic record linkage between infectious disease surveillance datasets (notifiable disease registers, outbreak line-lists), vaccination registries, and hospitalization records using methods based on Fellegi and Sunter (1969) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1969.10501049> and Sayers et al. (2016) <doi:10.1093/ije/dyv322>. The package provides core functions for data preparation, linkage, and analysis: clean_the_nest() standardizes variable names and formats across heterogeneous datasets; murmuration() performs machine learning-based record linkage using blocking variables and similarity metrics; molting() deidentifies datasets for secure sharing; homing() re-identifies previously deidentified datasets; plumage() identifies and categorizes comorbidities; and preening() creates analysis-ready variables including age categories and temporal groupings. Designed for epidemiological research linking acute and post-acute disease outcomes to vaccination status and healthcare utilization. Supports multiple linkage scenarios including case-to-vaccination, case-to-hospitalization, and event-based vaccination status determination (e.g., outbreak attendees, flight passengers, exposure site visitors).
