Contains methods for data analysis in entropic perspective. These entropic perspective methods are nonparametric, and perform better on non-ordinal data. Currently, the package has a function HeatMap() for visualizing distributional characteristics among multiple populations (groups).

Implements various estimators of entropy for discrete random 
  variables, including the shrinkage estimator by Hausser and Strimmer (2009),
  the maximum likelihood and the Millow-Madow estimator, various Bayesian
  estimators, and the Chao-Shen estimator.  It also offers an R interface to the
  NSB estimator.  Furthermore, the package provides functions for estimating the
  Kullback-Leibler divergence, the chi-squared divergence, mutual information,
  and the chi-squared divergence of independence.  It also computes the
  G statistic and the chi-squared statistic and corresponding p-values.
  Furthermore, there are functions for discretizing continuous random variables.

Contains methods for the estimation of Shannon's entropy, variants of Renyi's entropy, mutual information, Kullback-Leibler divergence, and generalized Simpson's indices. The estimators used have a bias that decays exponentially fast.

Tools for Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation and performance analysis. Simulate MCMC algorithms including adaptive MCMC, evaluate their convergence rate, and compare candidate MCMC algorithms for a same target density, based on entropy and Kullback-Leibler divergence criteria. MCMC algorithms can be simulated using provided functions, or imported from external codes. This package is based upon work starting with Chauveau, D. and Vandekerkhove, P. (2013) <doi:10.1051/ps/2012004> and next articles.

Tools for measuring empirically the effects of entry in concentrated markets, based in Bresnahan and Reiss (1991) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2937655>.

Small toolbox for data analyses in environmental chemistry and
    ecotoxicology. Provides, for example, calibration() to calculate calibration
    curves and corresponding limits of detection (LODs) and  limits of 
    quantification (LOQs) according to German DIN 32645 (2008). texture() makes
    it easy to estimate soil particle size distributions from hydrometer
    measurements (ASTM D422-63, 2007).
