Methods to detect genetic markers involved in biological
    adaptation. 'pcadapt' provides statistical tools for outlier detection based on
    Principal Component Analysis. Implements the method described in (Luu, 2016)
    <DOI:10.1111/1755-0998.12592> and later revised in (Privé, 2020) 
    <DOI:10.1093/molbev/msaa053>.

A suite of non-parametric, visual tools for assessing differences in data structures
    for two datasets that contain different observations of the same variables. These tools are all 
    based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and thus effectively address differences in the structures
    of the covariance matrices of the two datasets. The PCASDC tools consist of easy-to-use, 
    intuitive plots that each focus on different aspects of the PCA decompositions. The cumulative eigenvalue
    (CE) plot describes differences in the variance components (eigenvalues) of the deconstructed covariance matrices. The
    angle plot presents the information loss when moving from the PCA decomposition of one dataset to the 
    PCA decomposition of the other. The chroma plot describes the loading patterns of the two datasets, thereby
    presenting the relative weighting and importance of the variables from the original dataset.

Calibrate p-values under a robust perspective using the methods developed
    by Sellke, Bayarri, and Berger (2001) <doi:10.1198/000313001300339950> and obtain 
    measures of the evidence provided by the data in favor of point null hypotheses 
    which are safer and more straightforward to interpret.

Implementations of several methods for principal component analysis 
        using the L1 norm.  The package depends on COIN-OR Clp version >= 
        1.17.4.  The methods implemented are
