Methods for fitting various extreme value distributions with parameters of 
      generalised additive model (GAM) form are provided. For details of distributions 
      see Coles, S.G. (2001) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4471-3675-0>, GAMs see Wood, S.N. (2017) 
      <doi:10.1201/9781315370279>, and the fitting approach see Wood, S.N., Pya, N. & 
      Safken, B. (2016) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1180986>. Details of how evgam works
      and various examples are given in Youngman, B.D. (2022) <doi:10.18637/jss.v103.i03>.

This is an R package implementing the epidemic volatility index (EVI), as 
    discussed by Kostoulas et. al. (2021) and variations by Pateras et. al. (2023). EVI is a new, conceptually simple, early warning tool for oncoming epidemic waves. 
    EVI is based on the volatility of newly reported cases per unit of time,
    ideally per day, and issues an early warning when the volatility change rate exceeds a threshold.

Bayesian (and some likelihoodist) functions as alternatives to hypothesis-testing functions in R base using a user interface patterned after those of R's hypothesis testing functions. See McElreath (2016, ISBN: 978-1-4822-5344-3), Gelman and Hill (2007, ISBN: 0-521-68689-X) (new edition in preparation) and Albert (2009, ISBN: 978-0-387-71384-7) for good introductions to Bayesian analysis and Pawitan (2002, ISBN: 0-19-850765-8) for the Likelihood approach.  The functions in the package also make extensive use of graphical displays for data exploration and model comparison.

Provides tools for integrated sensitivity analysis of evidence factors in observational
	studies. When an observational study allows for multiple independent or nearly
	independent inferences which, if vulnerable, are vulnerable to different biases, we have 
	multiple evidence factors.  This package provides methods that respect type I error rate control. 
	Examples are provided of integrated evidence factors analysis in a longitudinal study with
	continuous outcome and in a case-control study.
