An implementation of both the equality and inequality constrained lasso
    functions for the algorithm described in "Penalized and Constrained Optimization"
    by James, Paulson, and Rusmevichientong (Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2019;
    see <http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/research/PAC.pdf> for a full-text version of the paper). 
    The algorithm here is designed to allow users to define linear constraints (either equality
    or inequality constraints) and use a penalized regression approach to solve the constrained
    problem. The functions here are used specifically for constraints with the lasso formulation,
    but the method described in the PaC paper can be used for a variety of scenarios. In addition
    to the simple examples included here with the corresponding functions, complete code to 
    entirely reproduce the results of the paper is available online through the Journal of the
    American Statistical Association.

Tools to more conveniently perform tasks associated with
        add-on packages. pacman conveniently wraps library and package
        related functions and names them in an intuitive and consistent
        fashion.  It seeks to combine functionality from lower level
        functions which can speed up workflow.

Procrustes analyses to infer co-phylogenetic
    matching between pairs of phylogenetic trees.

Routines for two different test types, the Constant Conditional Correlation (CCC) test and the Vectorial Independence (VI) test are provided (Kurz and Spanhel (2022) <doi:10.1214/22-EJS2051>). The tests can be applied to check whether a conditional copula coincides with its partial copula. Functions to test whether a regular vine copula satisfies the so-called simplifying assumption or to test a single copula within a regular vine copula to be a (j-1)-th order partial copula are available. The CCC test comes with a decision tree approach to allow testing in high-dimensional settings.
