Provides methods for examining posterior MCMC samples
    from a single chain using trace plots and density plots, and from
    multiple chains by comparing posterior medians and credible intervals
    from each chain.  These plotting functions have a variety of options,
    such as figure sizes, legends, parameters to plot, and saving plots to file.
    Functions interface with the NIMBLE software package, see

Provides functions to estimate latent dimensions of choice and judgment using Aldrich-McKelvey and Blackbox scaling methods, as described in Poole et al. (2016, <doi:10.18637/jss.v069.i07>). These techniques allow researchers (particularly those analyzing political attitudes, public opinion, and legislative behavior) to recover spatial estimates of political actors' ideal points and stimuli from issue scale data, accounting for perceptual bias, multidimensional spaces, and missing data. The package uses singular value decomposition and alternating least squares (ALS) procedures to scale self-placement and perceptual data into a common latent space for the analysis of ideological or evaluative dimensions. Functionality also include tools for assessing model fit, handling complex survey data structures, and reproducing simulated datasets for methodological validation.

Easily create tables from data 
    frames/matrices.  Create/manipulate tables 
    row-by-row, column-by-column or cell-by-cell.  
    Use common formatting/styling to output 
    rich tables as 'HTML', 'HTML widgets' or to 
    'Excel'.

Fetches, harmonizes, and analyses data from the Spanish National
    Forest Inventory for reproducible, design-aware forest inventory workflows.
    Computes tree- and stand-level metrics, applies sampling-based expansion
    factors, estimates volume, and supports extensible processing for external
    inventory designs with custom sampling schemes and volume equations. Spatial
    extensions can attach plot geometries, preserve geometry sidecars through
    metric workflows, and return georeferenced sf outputs for mapping and
    remote-sensing integration.
