Different tools for managing databases of airborne particles, elaborating the main calculations and visualization of results. In a first step, data are checked using tools for quality control and all missing gaps are completed. Then, the main parameters of the pollen season are calculated and represented graphically. Multiple graphical tools are available: pollen calendars, phenological plots, time series, tendencies, interactive plots, abundance plots...

Estimate ideal efficiencies of aerosol sampling through sample
    lines. Functions were developed consistent with the approach described in 
    Hogue, Mark; Thompson, Martha; Farfan, Eduardo; Hadlock, Dennis, (2014), 
    "Hand Calculations for Transport of Radioactive Aerosols through Sampling 
    Systems" Health Phys 106, 5, S78-S87, <doi:10.1097/HP.0000000000000092>.

Estimates the attributable fraction in different sampling designs
    adjusted for measured confounders using logistic regression (cross-sectional
    and case-control designs), conditional logistic regression (matched case-control
    design), Cox proportional hazard regression (cohort design with time-to-
    event outcome), gamma-frailty model with a Weibull baseline hazard and instrumental variables analysis.
    An exploration of the AF with a genetic exposure can be found in the package 'AFheritability' Dahlqwist E et al. (2019) <doi:10.1007/s00439-019-02006-8>.

This is an implementation of the Generalized Discrimination Score
    (also known as Two Alternatives Forced Choice Score, 2AFC) for various 
    representations of forecasts and verifying observations. The Generalized 
    Discrimination Score is a generic forecast verification framework which 
    can be applied to any of the following verification contexts: dichotomous, 
    polychotomous (ordinal and nominal), continuous, probabilistic, and ensemble.
    A comprehensive description of the Generalized Discrimination Score, including 
    all equations used in this package, is provided by Mason and Weigel (2009) 
    <doi:10.1175/MWR-D-10-05069.1>.
