Easily perform a Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the cost and carbon, ecological, and water footprints of a set of ideal diets. Pre-processing tools are also available to quickly treat the data, along with basic statistical features to analyze the simulation results — including the ability to establish confidence intervals for selected parameters, such as nutrients and price/emissions. A 'standard version' of the datasets employed is included as well, allowing users easy access to customization. This package brings to R the 'Python' software initially developed by Vandevijvere, Young, Mackay, Swinburn and Gahegan (2018) <doi:10.1186/s12966-018-0648-6>.

Estimates fractional trophic level from quantitative and qualitative diet data and calculates electivity indices in R. Borstein (2020) <doi:10.1007/s10750-020-04417-5>.

A wrapper for the ZEIT ONLINE Content API, available at <http://developer.zeit.de>. 'diezeit' gives access to articles and corresponding metadata from the ZEIT archive and from ZEIT ONLINE. A personal API key is required for usage.

Performs detection of Differential Item Functioning using the method DIFboost as proposed by Schauberger and Tutz (2016) <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12060>.

Estimation of DIFferential COexpressed NETworks using diverse and user metrics.
			 This package is basically used for three functions related to the estimation
			 of differential coexpression. 
			 First, to estimate differential coexpression where
			 the coexpression is estimated, by default, by Spearman correlation. For this,
			 a metric to compare two correlation distributions is needed. The package includes
			 6 metrics. Some of them needs a threshold. A new metric can also be specified as
			 a user function with specific parameters (see difconet.run). The significance is
			 be estimated by permutations.
			 Second, to generate datasets with controlled differential correlation data. This 
			 is done by either adding noise, or adding specific correlation structure.
			 Third, to show the results of differential correlation analyses. Please see
			 <http://bioinformatica.mty.itesm.mx/difconet> for further information.
