The package provides some tools for botanists, plant
taxonomists, curators of plant genebanks and perhaps other
biological collections.

Extended RC Models for Contingency Tables
Maximum likelihood estimation of an extended class of row-column (RC) association models for two-dimensional contingency tables, which are formulated by a condition of reduced rank on a matrix of extended association parameters; see Forcina (2019) <arXiv:1910.13848>. These parameters are defined by choosing the logit type for the row and column variables among four different options and a transformation derived from suitable divergence measures.

Provides summary statistics of local geospatial features within a given geographic area.
It does so by calculating the area covered by a target geospatial feature (i.e. buildings, parks, lakes, etc.).
The geospatial features can be of any type of geospatial data, including point, polygon or line data.
