Most multilevel methodologies can only model macro-micro
multilevel situations in an unbiased way, wherein group-level predictors
(e.g., city temperature) are used to predict an individual-level
outcome variable (e.g., citizen personality). In contrast,
this R package enables researchers to model micro-macro situations, wherein
individual-level (micro) predictors (and other group-level predictors) are
used to predict a group-level (macro) outcome variable in an unbiased way.

Provides a framework based on S3 dispatch for constructing models
of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission which are constructed from submodels of various
components (i.e. immature and adult mosquitoes, human populations). A consistent mathematical
expression for the distribution of bites on hosts means that different models
(stochastic, deterministic, etc.) can be coherently incorporated and updated
over a discrete time step.

Measures niche breadth and overlap of microbial taxa from large matrices.
Niche breadth measurements include Levins' niche breadth (Bn) index, Hurlbert's Bn
and Feinsinger's proportional similarity (PS) index. (Feinsinger, P., Spears, E.E.,
Poole, R.W. (1981) <doi:10.2307/1936664>). Niche overlap measurements include
Levin's Overlap (Ludwig, J.A. and Reynolds, J.F. (1988, ISBN:0471832359)) and a Jaccard
similarity index of Feinsinger's PS values between taxa pairs, as Proportional Overlap.
