Adds support for R startup configuration via '.Renviron.d' and '.Rprofile.d' directories in addition to '.Renviron' and '.Rprofile' files.  This makes it possible to keep private / secret environment variables separate from other environment variables.  It also makes it easier to share specific startup settings by simply copying a file to a directory.

Provides utilities to create or suppress start-up messages.

Allows the user to estimate a vector logistic smooth transition autoregressive model via maximum log-likelihood or nonlinear least squares. It further permits to test for linearity in the multivariate framework against a vector logistic smooth transition autoregressive model with a single transition variable. The estimation method is discussed in Terasvirta and Yang (2014, <doi:10.1108/S0731-9053(2013)0000031008>). Also, realized covariances can be constructed from stock market prices or returns, as explained in Andersen et al. (2001, <doi:10.1016/S0304-405X(01)00055-1>).

Performance analysis workflow that combines the power of the R
    language (and the tidyverse realm) and many auxiliary tools to
    provide a consistent, flexible, extensible, fast, and versatile
    framework for the performance analysis of task-based applications
    that run on top of the StarPU runtime (with its MPI (Message
    Passing Interface) layer for multi-node support).  Its goal is to
    provide a fruitful prototypical environment to conduct performance
    analysis hypothesis-checking for task-based applications that run
    on heterogeneous (multi-GPU, multi-core) multi-node HPC
    (High-performance computing) platforms.

Provides data about the 'Star Wars' movie franchise in a set
    of relational tables or as a complete 'DuckDB' database. All data was
    collected from the open source 'Star Wars' API.

Datasets for the textbook Stat2: Modeling with Regression and ANOVA (second edition). 
    The package also includes data for the first edition, Stat2: Building Models for a World of Data
    and a few functions for plotting diagnostics.
