For plant physiologists, converts conductance (e.g. stomatal conductance) to different units: m/s, mol/m^2/s, and umol/m^2/s/Pa.

Statistical analysis of monthly background checks of gun purchases for the New York Times 
 story "What Drives Gun Sales: Terrorism, Obama and Calls for Restrictions" at

Provides a toolkit for analytical variance estimation in survey sampling. Apart from the implementation of standard variance estimators, its main feature is to help the sampling expert produce easy-to-use variance estimation "wrappers", where systematic operations (linearization, domain estimation) are handled in a consistent and transparent way.

Given exposure and survival time series as well as parameter values, GUTS allows for the fast calculation of the survival probabilities as well as the logarithm of the corresponding likelihood (see Albert, C., Vogel, S. and Ashauer, R. (2016) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004978>).

Light procedures for learning Global Vector Autoregression model (GVAR) of Pesaran, Schuermann and Weiner (2004) <DOI:10.1198/073500104000000019> and Dees, di Mauro, Pesaran and Smith (2007) <DOI:10.1002/jae.932>.

Several tools for Global Value Chain ('GVC') analysis are
    implemented.

Functionalities to compute model based genetic components i.e. genotypic variance, phenotypic variance and heritability for given traits of different genotypes from replicated data using methodology explained by Burton, G. W. & Devane, E. H. (1953) (<doi:10.2134/agronj1953.00021962004500100005x>) and Allard, R.W. (2010, ISBN:8126524154).
