Functions to calculate seed germination and seedling emergence and growth indexes. The main indexes for germination and seedling emergence, considering the time for seed germinate are: T10, T50 and T90, in Farooq et al. (2005) <10.1111/j.1744-7909.2005.00031.x>; and MGT, in Labouriau (1983). Considering the germination speed are: Germination Speed Index, in Maguire (1962), Mean Germination Rate, in Labouriau (1983); considering the homogeneity of germination are: Coefficient of Variation of the Germination Time, in Carvalho et al. (2005) <10.1590/S0100-84042005000300018>, and Variance of Germination, in Labouriau (1983); Uncertainty, in Labouriau and Valadares (1976) <ISSN:0001-3765>; and Synchrony, in Primack (1980). The main seedling indexes are Growth, in Sako (2001), Uniformity, in Sako (2001) and Castan et al. (2018) <doi:10.1590/1678-992x-2016-0401>; and Vigour, in Medeiros and Pereira (2018) <doi:10.1590/1983-40632018v4852340>.

Functions for dimension reduction through the seeded canonical correlation analysis are provided. A classical canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is one of useful statistical methods in multivariate data analysis, but it is limited in use due to the matrix inversion for large p small n data. To overcome this, a seeded CCA has been proposed in Im, Gang and Yoo (2015) \doi{10.1002/cem.2691}. The seeded CCA is a two-step procedure. The sets of variables are initially reduced by successively projecting cov(X,Y) or cov(Y,X) onto cov(X) and cov(Y), respectively, without loss of information on canonical correlation analysis, following Cook, Li and Chiaromonte (2007) \doi{10.1093/biomet/asm038} and Lee and Yoo (2014) \doi{10.1111/anzs.12057}. Then, the canonical correlation is finalized with the initially-reduced two sets of variables.

Seeded Sequential LDA can classify sentences of texts into pre-define topics with a small number of seed words (Watanabe & Baturo, 2023) <doi:10.1177/08944393231178605>.
    Implements Seeded LDA (Lu et al., 2010) <doi:10.1109/ICDMW.2011.125> and Sequential LDA (Du et al., 2012) <doi:10.1007/s10115-011-0425-1> with the distributed LDA algorithm (Newman, et al., 2009) for parallel computing.
