An implementation of logistic normal multinomial (LNM) clustering. It is an extension of LNM mixture model proposed by Fang and Subedi (2020) <arXiv:2011.06682>, and is designed for clustering compositional data. The package includes 3 extended models: LNM Factor Analyzer (LNM-FA), LNM Bicluster Mixture Model (LNM-BMM) and Penalized LNM Factor Analyzer (LNM-FA). There are several advantages of LNM models: 1. LNM provides more flexible covariance structure; 2. Factor analyzer can reduce the number of parameters to estimate; 3. Bicluster can simultaneously cluster subjects and taxa, and provides significant biological insights; 4. Penalty term allows sparse estimation in the covariance matrix. Details for model assumptions and interpretation can be found in papers: Tu and Subedi (2021) <arXiv:2101.01871> and Tu and Subedi (2022) <doi:10.1002/sam.11555>.

Estimates a lognormal-Pareto mixture by maximizing the profile likelihood function. A likelihood ratio test for discriminating between lognormal and Pareto tail is also implemented. See Bee, M. (2022) <doi:10.1007/s11634-022-00497-4>.

Various plots and functions that make use of the lattice/trellis plotting framework. 
   The plots, which include loaPlot(), RgoogleMapsPlot() and trianglePlot(), use panelPal(), a function that 
   extends 'lattice' and 'hexbin' package methods to automate plot subscript and panel-to-panel 
   and panel-to-key synchronization/management.

Provides a framework to load text and excel files through a 'shiny' graphical interface. It allows renaming, transforming, ordering and removing variables. It includes basic exploratory methods such as the mean, median, mode, normality test, histogram and correlation.
