biometrics (version 1.0.3)

A Package for Biometrics and Modelling

Description

A system of functions and datasets to carry out quantitative analyses in the biological sciences. The package facilitates data management, exploratory analyses, and model assessment. Although it currently focuses on forest ecology, silviculture and decision-making, most of the package functions are applicable across several disciplines, including economics, environmental science, and healthcare.
