The 'inti' package is part of the 'inkaverse' project for developing 
    different procedures and tools used in plant science and experimental designs. 
    The mean aim of the package is to support researchers during the planning of
    experiments and data collection (tarpuy()), data analysis and graphics (yupana())
    , and technical writing.

An interval-valued extension of ordinary and simple kriging.
    Optimization of the function is based on a generalized interval distance.
    This creates a non-differentiable cost function that requires a
    differentiable approximation to the absolute value function. This
    differentiable approximation is optimized using a Newton-Raphson algorithm
    with a penalty function to impose the constraints. Analyses in the package
    are driven by the 'intsp' and 'intgrd' 
    classes, 
    which are interval-valued extensions of
    'SpatialPointsDataFrame' and 'SpatialPixelsDataFrame' respectively. 
    The package includes several wrappers to functions in the 
    'gstat' and 'sp' packages.

Provides a key-value store data structure. The keys are
    integers and the values can be any R object. This is like a list but
    indexed by a set of integers, not necessarily contiguous and possibly
    negative. The implementation uses a 'R6' class. These containers are 
    not faster than lists but their usage can be more convenient for 
    certain situations.

Implementing the interventional effects for mediation analysis for up to 3 mediators.
    The methods used are based on VanderWeele, Vansteelandt and Robins (2014) <doi:10.1097/ede.0000000000000034>, 
    Vansteelandt and Daniel (2017) <doi:10.1097/ede.0000000000000596> and Chan and Leung (2020; unpublished manuscript, available on request from the author of this package).
    Linear regression, logistic regression and Poisson regression are used for continuous, binary 
    and count mediator/outcome variables respectively.
