Unit testing is a solid component of automated CI/CD pipelines. 'tinytest' - a light-weight,
	zero-dependency  alternative to 'testthat' was developed. To be able to integrate 'tinytests' results into common CI/CD
	systems the 'tinytests'-object needs to be converted to JUnit XML format. 'tinytest2JUnit' enables this conversion
	while keeping the zero-dependency nature.

Helper functions to install and maintain the 'LaTeX' distribution
  named 'TinyTeX' (<https://yihui.org/tinytex/>), a lightweight, cross-platform,
  portable, and easy-to-maintain version of 'TeX Live'. This package also
  contains helper functions to compile 'LaTeX' documents, and install missing
  'LaTeX' packages automatically.

Themes for 'ggplot2' are a convenient way to style plots. The 'hrbrthemes' package
 contains a particularly nice one, but brings along a significant tail of dependencies. So this
 (currently experimental) package brings along just the 'theme_ipsum_rc' theme using the 'Roboto'
 'Condensed' font.  Should the font not be installed on your system, see the help in the package
 'hrbrthemes' on how to install 'Roboto Condensed'.

Cluster data without specifying the number of clusters using the Table Invitation Prior (TIP) introduced in the paper "Clustering Gene Expression Using the Table Invitation Prior" by Charles W. Harrison, Qing He, and Hsin-Hsiung Huang (2022) <doi:10.3390/genes13112036>. TIP is a Bayesian prior that uses pairwise distance and similarity information to cluster vectors, matrices, or tensors.

Accurately estimates phase shifts by accounting for period
  changes and for the point in the circadian cycle at which the stimulus occurs.
