The Importance Index (I.I.) can determine the loss and solution sources for a system in certain knowledge areas (e.g., agronomy), when production (e.g., fruits) is known (Demolin-Leite, 2021). Events (e.g., agricultural pest) can have different magnitudes (numerical measurements), frequencies, and distributions (aggregate, random, or regular) of event occurrence, and I.I. bases in this triplet (Demolin-Leite, 2021) <https://cjascience.com/index.php/CJAS/article/view/1009/1319>. Usually, the higher the magnitude and frequency of aggregated distribution, the greater the problem or the solution (e.g., natural enemies versus pests) for the system (Demolin-Leite, 2021). However, the final production of the system is not always known or is difficult to determine (e.g., degraded area recovery). A derivation of the I.I. is the percentage of Importance Index-Production Unknown (% I.I.-PU) that can detect the loss or solution sources, when production is unknown for the system (Demolin-Leite, 2024) <DOI:10.1590/1519-6984.253218>.

General purpose TIFF file I/O for R users.  Currently the
    only such package with read and write support for TIFF files with
    floating point (real-numbered) pixels, and the only package that can
    correctly import TIFF files that were saved from 'ImageJ' and write
    TIFF files than can be correctly read by 'ImageJ'
    <https://imagej.net/ij/>. Also supports text image I/O.

It performs interlaboratory studies (ILS) to detect those
    laboratories that provide non-consistent results when comparing to others. It
    permits to work simultaneously with various testing materials, from standard
    univariate, and functional data analysis (FDA) perspectives. The univariate
    approach based on ASTM E691-08 consist of estimating the Mandel's h and
    k statistics to identify those laboratories that provide more significant
    different results, testing also the presence of outliers by Cochran and Grubbs
    tests, Analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques are provided (F and Tuckey
    tests) to test differences in means corresponding to different laboratories per
    each material. Taking into account the functional nature of data retrieved in
    analytical chemistry, applied physics and engineering (spectra, thermograms,
    etc.). ILS package provides a FDA approach for finding the Mandel's k and h
    statistics distribution by smoothing bootstrap resampling.
