Combines Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Bayesian multinomial time series methods in a two-stage analysis to quantify dynamics in high-dimensional temporal data. LDA decomposes multivariate data into lower-dimension latent groupings, whose relative proportions are modeled using generalized Bayesian time series models that include abrupt changepoints and smooth dynamics. The methods are described in Blei et al. (2003) <doi:10.1162/jmlr.2003.3.4-5.993>, Western and Kleykamp (2004) <doi:10.1093/pan/mph023>, Venables and Ripley (2002, ISBN-13:978-0387954578), and Christensen et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/ecy.2373>.

For this first version only metrics to estimate the best fitting
    number of topics are implemented.

Tools to create an interactive web-based visualization of a
    topic model that has been fit to a corpus of text data using
    Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). Given the estimated parameters of
    the topic model, it computes various summary statistics as input to
    an interactive visualization built with D3.js that is accessed via
    a browser. The goal is to help users interpret the topics in their
    LDA topic model.

Flexible procedures to compute local density-based outlier scores for ranking outliers.
  Both exact and approximate nearest neighbor search can be implemented, while also accommodating
  multiple neighborhood sizes and four different local density-based methods. It allows for
  referencing a random subsample of the input data or a user specified reference data set
  to compute outlier scores against, so both unsupervised and semi-supervised outlier
  detection can be implemented.

Computations related to group sequential boundaries.
    Includes calculation of bounds using the Lan-DeMets
    alpha spending function approach. Based on FORTRAN
        program ld98 implemented by Reboussin, et al. (2000) <doi:10.1016/s0197-2456(00)00057-x>.

Four measures of linkage disequilibrium are provided: the usual r^2
        measure, the r^2_S measure (r^2 corrected by the structure
        sample), the r^2_V (r^2 corrected by the relatedness of
        genotyped individuals), the r^2_VS measure (r^2 corrected by
        both the relatedness of genotyped individuals and the structure
        of the sample).
