User-friendly and generalized tools for the calculation of luck -- moments of variation in metrics like lifespan and lifetime reproductive output. We provide tools for calculating those moments and also performing decompositions into contributions from, for example, individual traits, environmental impacts, and luck (also called individual stochasticity). The functions included here are based on Snyder and Ellner (2024) <doi:10.1086/730557>, Cochran and Ellner (1992) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2937115>, and Hernandez et al. (2024) <doi:10.1111/ele.14390>.

Clustering or classification of longitudinal data based on a mixture of multivariate t or Gaussian distributions with a Cholesky-decomposed covariance structure. Details in McNicholas and Murphy (2010) <doi:10.1002/cjs.10047> and McNicholas and Subedi (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2011.11.026>.

An implementation of algorithms described in Jewell and Witten (2017) <arXiv:1703.08644>.

Enables the generation of Laplace factor models across diverse Laplace distributions and facilitates the application of Sparse Online Principal Component (SOPC), Incremental Principal Component (IPC), Perturbation Principal Component (PPC), Stochastic Approximation Principal Component (SAPC), Sparse Principal Component (SPC) and other PC methods and Farm Test methods to these models. Evaluates the efficacy of these methods within the context of Laplace factor models by scrutinizing parameter estimation accuracy, mean square error, and the degree of sparsity.

Implementation of a theoretically supported alternative to k-nearest neighbors for functional data to solve problems of estimating unobserved segments of a partially observed functional data sample, functional classification and outlier detection. The approximating neighbor curves are piecewise functions built from a functional sample. Instead of a distance on a function space we use a locally defined distance function that satisfies stabilization criteria. The package allows the implementation of the methodology and the replication of the results in Elà as, A., Jiménez, R. and Yukich, J. (2020) <arXiv:2007.16059>.

Studies that report shifts in species distributions may be biased by the shape of the study area. The main functionality of this package is to calculate the Latitudinal Bias Index (LBI) for any given shape. The LBI is bounded between +1 (100% probability to exclusively record latitudinal shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled along a perfectly South-North oriented straight line) and -1 (100% probability to exclusively record longitudinal shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled along a perfectly East-West oriented straight line).
