Functions, S4 classes/methods and a graphical user interface (GUI) to design surveys to substantiate freedom from disease using a modified hypergeometric function (see Cameron and Baldock, 1997, <doi:10.1016/s0167-5877(97)00081-0>). Herd sensitivities are computed according to sampling strategies "individual sampling" or "limited sampling" (see M. Ziller, T. Selhorst, J. Teuffert, M. Kramer and H. Schlueter, 2002, <doi:10.1016/S0167-5877(01)00245-8>). Methods to compute the a-posteriori alpha-error are implemented. Risk-based targeted sampling is supported.

Downloads all the datasets (you can exclude the daily ones or specify a list of those you are targeting specifically) from Kenneth French's Website at <https://mba.tuck.dartmouth.edu/pages/faculty/ken.french/data_library.html>, process them and convert them to list of 'xts' (time series).

General linear modeling with multiple responses (MANCOVA). An overall p-value for each model term is calculated by the 50-50 MANOVA method by Langsrud (2002) <doi:10.1111/1467-9884.00320>, which handles collinear responses. Rotation testing, described by Langsrud (2005) <doi:10.1007/s11222-005-4789-5>, is used to compute adjusted single response p-values according to familywise error rates and false discovery rates (FDR). The approach to FDR is described in the appendix of Moen et al. (2005) <doi:10.1128/AEM.71.4.2086-2094.2005>. Unbalanced designs are handled by Type II sums of squares as argued in Langsrud (2003) <doi:10.1023/A:1023260610025>. Furthermore, the Type II philosophy is extended to continuous design variables as described in Langsrud et al. (2007) <doi:10.1080/02664760701594246>. This means that the method is invariant to scale changes and that common pitfalls are avoided.

Implements numerical entropy-pooling for portfolio construction and 
    scenario analysis as described in Meucci, Attilio (2008) and Meucci, Attilio (2010) 
    <doi:10.2139/ssrn.1696802>.

Helps access various Fantasy Football APIs by handling
    authentication and rate-limiting, forming appropriate calls, and
    returning tidy dataframes which can be easily connected to other data
    sources.
