YACFP (Yet Another Convenience Function Package). get_age() is a fast & accurate tool for measuring fractional years between two dates. abbr_to_colClass() is a much more concise way of feeding many types to a colClass argument in a data reader. stale_package_check() tries to identify any library() calls to unused packages.

Cluster together the components that make up an interactive
system on the basis of their functional redundancy
for one or more collective, systemic performances.
Plot the hierarchical tree of component clusters,
the modelled and predicted performances of component assemblages,
and other results associated with a functional clustering.
Test and prioritize the significance of the different components
that make up the interactive system,
of the different assemblages of components that make up the dataset,
and of the different performances observed on the component assemblages.
The method finds application in ecology, for instance,
where the system is an ecosystem, the components are organisms or species,
and the systemic performance is the production of biomass
or the respiration of the ecosystem.
The method is extensively described in
