A simulator for reticulate evolution under a birth-death-hybridization process. Here the birth-death process is extended to consider reticulate Evolution by allowing hybridization events to occur. The general purpose simulator allows the modeling of three different reticulate patterns: lineage generative hybridization, lineage neutral hybridization, and lineage degenerative hybridization. Users can also specify hybridization events to be dependent on a trait value or genetic distance. We also extend some phylogenetic tree utility and plotting functions for networks. We allow two different stopping conditions: simulated to a fixed time or number of taxa. When simulating to a fixed number of taxa, the user can simulate under the Generalized Sampling Approach that properly simulates phylogenies when assuming a uniform prior on the root age.

A platform for computing competition indices and experimenting
    with spatially explicit individual-based vegetation models.

Statistical analysis as part of a stable isotope probing (SIP) metagenomics study to identify isotope incorporating taxa recovered as metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). 
    Helpful reading and a vignette in bookdown format is provided on the package site <https://zielslab.github.io/SIPmg.github.io/>.

Single-Index Quantile Regression is effective in some scenarios. We provides functions that allow users to fit Single-Index Quantile Regression model. It also provides functions to do prediction, estimate standard errors of the single-index coefficients via bootstrap, and visualize the estimated univariate function. Please see W., Y., Y. (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2010.02.003> for details.

Calculating daily global solar radiation at horizontal surface using several well-known models (i.e. Angstrom-Prescott, Supit-Van Kappel, Hargreaves, Bristow and Campbell, and Mahmood-Hubbard), and model calibration based on ground-truth data, and (3) model auto-calibration. The FAO Penmann-Monteith equation to calculate evapotranspiration is also included.
