An implementation of the quantitative ethnobotany indices in R. The goal is to provide an easy-to-use platform for ethnobotanists to assess the cultural significance of plant species based on informant consensus. The package closely follows the paper by Tardio and Pardo-de-Santayana (2008). Tardio, J., and M. Pardo-de-Santayana, 2008. Cultural Importance Indices: A Comparative Analysis Based on the Useful Wild Plants of Southern Cantabria (Northern Spain) 1. Economic Botany, 62(1), 24-39. <doi:10.1007/s12231-007-9004-5>.

Reliable and rapid ethnicity annotation from whole exome and targeted sequencing data.

A predictable and pipeable framework for performing ETL 
    (extract-transform-load) operations on publicly-accessible medium-sized data 
    set. This package sets up the method structure and implements generic 
    functions. Packages that depend on this package download specific data sets 
    from the Internet, clean them up, and import them into a local or remote 
    relational database management system.

Provides functions to facilitate the use of the 'ff' package
    in interaction with big data in 'SQL' databases (e.g. in 'Oracle', 'MySQL',
    'PostgreSQL', 'Hive') by allowing easy importing directly into 'ffdf' objects
    using 'DBI', 'RODBC' and 'RJDBC'. Also contains some basic utility functions to
    do fast left outer join merging based on 'match', factorisation of data and a
    basic function for re-coding vectors.

The etm (empirical transition matrix) package permits to estimate the matrix of transition probabilities for any time-inhomogeneous multi-state model with finite state space using the Aalen-Johansen estimator. Functions for data preparation and for displaying are also included (Allignol et al., 2011 <doi:10.18637/jss.v038.i04>). Functionals of the Aalen-Johansen estimator, e.g., excess length-of-stay in an intermediate state, can also be computed (Allignol et al. 2011 <doi:10.1007/s00180-010-0200-x>).

Use R to interface with the 'ETRADE' API <https://developer.etrade.com/home>.
    Functions include authentication, trading, quote requests, account information, and option 
    chains. A user will need an ETRADE brokerage account and 'ETRADE' API approval. See README 
    for authentication process and examples.
