A set of tools to extract bibliographic content from the National
    Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) databases, including PubMed. The
    name RISmed is a portmanteau of RIS (for Research Information Systems, a common
    tag format for bibliographic data) and PubMed.

Automated performance of common transformations used to fulfill parametric
    assumptions of normality and identification of the best performing method 
    for the user. Output for various normality tests (Thode, 2002) corresponding 
    to the best performing method and a descriptive statistical report of the 
    input data in its original units (5-number summary and mathematical moments) 
    are also presented. Lastly, the Rankit, an empirical normal quantile transformation 
    (ENQT) (Soloman & Sawilowsky, 2009), is provided to accommodate non-standard 
    use cases and facilitate adoption.

Implements the simulation and regression of
        integrated Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) data using
        the most commonly used one-to-one binding reaction model.

Allows to efficiently parse, filter, and write binary ITCH Files (Version 5.0) containing detailed financial transactions as distributed by NASDAQ to an R data.table.

An interface to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System ('ITIS')
    (<https://www.itis.gov>). Includes functions to work with the 'ITIS' REST
    API methods (<https://www.itis.gov/ws_description.html>), as well as the
    'Solr' web service (<https://www.itis.gov/solr_documentation.html>).

Tools for randomization-based inference. Current focus is on the d^2 omnibus test of differences of means following Hansen and Bowers (2008)  <doi:10.1214/08-STS254> . This test is useful for assessing balance in matched observational studies or for analysis of outcomes in block-randomized experiments.

Finds a robust instrumental variables estimator using a
             high breakdown point S-estimator of multivariate location
             and scatter matrix.
