Parallelized version of the "segment" function from Bioconductor package "DNAcopy", utilizing multi-core computation on host CPU

Reviews other packages during code review by looking at their
    dependencies, code style, code complexity, and how internally defined
    functions interact with one another.

Utilities for the Pareto, piecewise Pareto and generalized Pareto distribution
    that are useful for reinsurance pricing. In particular, the package provides
    a non-trivial algorithm that can be used to match the expected losses of a 
    tower of reinsurance layers with a layer-independent collective risk model.
    The theoretical background of the matching algorithm and most other methods
    are described in Ulrich Riegel (2018) <doi:10.1007/s13385-018-0177-3>.

Statistical functions to describe a Pareto Positive Stable (PPS) 
    distribution and fit it to real data. Graphical and statistical tools to 
    validate the fits are included.

Fits Parametric Frailty Models by maximum marginal likelihood.
             Possible baseline hazards:
                 exponential, Weibull, inverse Weibull (Fréchet),
                 Gompertz, lognormal, log-skew-normal, and loglogistic.
             Possible Frailty distributions:
                gamma, positive stable, inverse Gaussian and lognormal.

Offers tools to estimate and visualize levels of major pollutants
             (CO, NO2, SO2, Ozone, PM2.5 and PM10) across the conterminous
             United States for user-defined time ranges. Provides functions to
             retrieve pollutant data from the U.S. Environmental Protection
             Agency’s 'Air Quality System' (AQS) API service
             <https://aqs.epa.gov/aqsweb/documents/data_api.html> for
             interactive visualization through a 'shiny' application, allowing
             users to explore pollutant levels for a given location over time
             relative to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

Provides a parallel estimation method for generalized linear
    models without compiling with a multithreaded LAPACK or BLAS.
