Implements synchronization between R processes (spawned by using the "parallel" package for instance) using file locks. Supports both exclusive and shared locking.

Fit occupancy models in 'Stan' via 'brms'. The full variety
    of 'brms' formula-based effects structures are available to use in
    multiple classes of occupancy model, including single-season
    models, models with data augmentation for never-observed species,
    dynamic (multiseason) models with explicit colonization and extinction
    processes, and dynamic models with autologistic occupancy dynamics.
    Formulas can be specified for all relevant distributional terms,
    including detection and one or more of occupancy, colonization,
    extinction, and autologistic depending on the model type. Several
    important forms of model post-processing are provided.  References:

Includes several statistical methods for the estimation of parameters and high quantiles of river flow distributions. The focus is on regional estimation based on homogeneity assumptions and computed from multivariate observations (multiple measurement stations).

A reproducible, map-oriented workflow for flood hazard assessment
    that chains rainfall extreme value analysis, rainfall-runoff simulation,
    terrain-based flow routing and water-depth estimation into a single
    pipeline. A stationary-versus-nonstationary test for changing rainfall
    extremes is built in, and any flood scenario can be produced for a
    present-day or a climate-adjusted design event. Defaults target settings
    with sparse gauge networks, using satellite or reanalysis rainfall,
    temperature-based potential evapotranspiration and regional pooling of
    short records. Heavy modelling engines are wrapped rather than
    reimplemented so that the core stays lightweight. Methods follow
    established hydrology, including the generalized extreme value distribution
    for rainfall maxima (Coles, 2001, <doi:10.1007/978-1-4471-3675-0>) and
    Manning's equation for open-channel flow.
