Estimation of bifurcating autoregressive models of any order, p, BAR(p) as well as several types of bias correction for the least squares estimators of the autoregressive parameters as described in Zhou and Basawa (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2005.04.024> and Elbayoumi and Mostafa (2020) <doi:10.1002/sta4.342>. Currently, the bias correction methods supported include bootstrap (single, double and fast-double) bias correction and linear-bias-function-based bias correction. Functions for generating and plotting bifurcating autoregressive data from any BAR(p) model are also included. This new version includes calculating several type of bias-corrected and -uncorrected confidence intervals for the least squares estimators of the autoregressive parameters as described in Elbayoumi and Mostafa (2023)
             <doi:10.6339/23-JDS1092>.

Provides arithmetic functions for R matrix and 'big.matrix' objects as well as functions for QR factorization, Cholesky factorization, General eigenvalue, and Singular value decomposition (SVD). A method matrix multiplication and an arithmetic method -for matrix addition, matrix difference- allows for mixed type operation -a matrix class object and a big.matrix class object- and pure type operation for two big.matrix class objects.

Extend the 'bigmemory' package with various analytics.
    Functions 'bigkmeans' and 'binit' may also be used with native R objects.
    For 'tapply'-like functions, the bigtabulate package may also be helpful.
    For linear algebra support, see 'bigalgebra'.  For mutex (locking) support
    for advanced shared-memory usage, see 'synchronicity'.

Enhanced message functions (cat() / message() / warning() / error()) 
    using wrappers around sprintf(). Also, multiple assertion functions 
    (e.g. to check class, length, values, files, arguments, etc.).

These tools accept integers in any base from 2 to 36, including 2's complement format, and perform actions like "AND," "OR", "NOT", "SHIFTR/L" etc. The output can be in any base specified. A direct base to base converter is included.
