Creating dendrochronological networks based on the similarity between tree-ring series or chronologies. The package includes various functions to compare tree-ring curves building upon the 'dplR' package. The networks can be used to visualise and understand the relations between tree-ring curves. These networks are also very useful to estimate the provenance of wood as described in Visser (2021) <DOI:10.5334/jcaa.79> or wood-use within a structure/context/site as described in Visser and Vorst (2022) <DOI:10.1163/27723194-bja10014>.

Provides functions for the calculation and plotting of synchrony in 
      tree growth from tree-ring width chronologies (TRW index). It combines
      variance-covariance (VCOV) mixed modelling with functions that quantify 
      the degree to which the TRW chronologies contain a common temporal 
      signal. It also implements temporal trends in spatial synchrony using a 
      moving window. These methods can also be used with other kind of ecological
      variables that have temporal autocorrelation corrected.

Provides novel dendroclimatological methods, primarily used by the
    Tree-ring research community. There are four core functions. The first one is 
    daily_response(), which finds the optimal sequence of days that are related 
    to one or more tree-ring proxy records. Similar function is daily_response_seascorr(), 
    which implements partial correlations in the analysis of daily response functions.
    For the enthusiast of monthly data, there is monthly_response() function.
    The last core function is compare_methods(), which effectively compares several 
    linear and nonlinear regression algorithms on the task of climate reconstruction.

Re-arranges a dendrogram to optimize visualisation-based cost functions.
    The methods implemented here are described in "Advances in Dendrogram Seriation for Application 
    to Visualization", Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics (2015) D. Earle and C.B. Hurley  <doi:10.1080/10618600.2013.874295>.
