Miscellaneous functions for working with 'stars' objects, mainly single-band rasters. Currently includes functions for: (1) focal filtering, (2) detrending of Digital Elevation Models, (3) calculating flow length, (4) calculating the Convergence Index, (5) calculating topographic aspect and topographic slope.

Makes it possible to serve map tiles for web maps (e.g. leaflet) based on a function or a stars object without having to render them in advance. This enables parallelization of the rendering, separating the data source and visualization location and to provide web services.

The package is used for calibrating the design parameters for single-to-double arm transition design proposed by Shi and Yin (2017). The calibration is performed via numerical enumeration to find the optimal design that satisfies the constraints on the type I and II error rates.

Get started with new projects by dropping a skeleton of a new
    project into a new or existing directory, initialise git repositories,
    and create reproducible environments with the 'renv' package. The
    package allows for dynamically named files, folders, file content, as
    well as the functionality to drop individual template files into
    existing projects.

Automatically fetch, transform and arrange subsets of
    multidimensional data sets (collections of files) stored in local and/or
    remote file systems or servers, using multicore capabilities where possible.
    This tool provides an interface to perceive a collection of data sets as a single
    large multidimensional data array, and enables the user to request for automatic
    retrieval, processing and arrangement of subsets of the large array. Wrapper
    functions to add support for custom file formats can be plugged in/out, making
    the tool suitable for any research field where large multidimensional data sets
    are involved.

Contains functions for estimating the STARTS model of
