A collection of functions to pre-process amplification curve data from polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or isothermal amplification reactions. Contains functions to normalize and baseline amplification curves, to detect both the start and end of an amplification reaction, several smoothers (e.g., LOWESS, moving average, cubic splines, Savitzky-Golay), a function to detect false positive amplification reactions and a function to determine the amplification efficiency. Quantification point (Cq) methods include the first (FDM) and second approximate derivative maximum (SDM) methods (calculated by a 5-point-stencil) and the cycle threshold method. Data sets of experimental nucleic acid amplification systems ('VideoScan HCU', capillary convective PCR (ccPCR)) and commercial systems are included. Amplification curves were generated by helicase dependent amplification (HDA), ccPCR or PCR. As detection system intercalating dyes (EvaGreen, SYBR Green) and hydrolysis probes (TaqMan) were used.

API Client for the Climate Hazards Center 'CHIRPS' and 'CHIRTS'. 
  The 'CHIRPS' data is a quasi-global (50°S – 50°N) high-resolution 
  (0.05 arc-degrees) rainfall data set, which incorporates satellite imagery 
  and in-situ station data to create gridded rainfall time series for trend 
  analysis and seasonal drought monitoring. 'CHIRTS' is a quasi-global 
  (60°S – 70°N), high-resolution data set of daily maximum and minimum
  temperatures. For more details on 'CHIRPS' and 'CHIRTS' data please visit 
  its official home page <https://www.chc.ucsb.edu/data>.

Perform post hoc analysis based on residuals of Pearson's Chi-squared Test for Count Data based on T. Mark Beasley & Randall E. Schumacker (1995) <doi: 10.1080/00220973.1995.9943797>.

Provides the facility to perform the chi-square and G-square test of independence, calculates the power of the traditional chi-square test, compute permutation and Monte Carlo p-value, and provides measures of association such as Phi, odds ratio with 95 percent CI and p-value, adjusted contingency coefficient, Cramer's V and 95 percent CI, bias-corrected Cramer's V, W, Cohen's w, Goodman-Kruskal's lambda, gamma and its p-value, and tau, Cohen's k and its 95 percent CI. It also calculates standardized, moment-corrected standardized, and adjusted standardized residuals, and their significance. Different outputs are returned in nicely formatted tables.
