Title: Regularized Autoregressive Hidden Semi Markov Model
Description: Fit Gaussian hidden Markov (or semi-Markov) models with / without autoregressive coefficients and with / without regularization. The fitting algorithm for the hidden Markov model is illustrated by Rabiner (1989) <doi:10.1109/5.18626>. The shrinkage estimation on the covariance matrices is based on the graphical lasso method by Freedman (2007) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxm045>. The shrinkage estimation on the autoregressive coefficients uses the elastic net shrinkage detailed in Zou (2005) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2005.00503.x>.

Title: Access Data from the USDA ARMS Data API
Description: Interface to easily access data via the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)'s Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS)
Data API <https://www.ers.usda.gov/developer/data-apis/arms-data-api/>. The downloaded data can be saved for later off-line use.
Also provide relevant information and metadata for each of the input variables needed for sending the data inquery.

Title: Create Reports Using R and 'asciidoc'
Description: Inspired by Karl Broman`s reader on using 'knitr'
merely a wrapper to 'knitr' and 'asciidoc'.
Suggests: rmarkdown, testthat, RUnit, devtools, rprojroot, withr,

Suggests: devtools, pkgload, rmarkdown, rprojroot, RUnit, testthat,

Imports: document, git2r, highr, knitr, xfun
SystemRequirements: python >= 2.6, by default rasciidoc uses a system
installation of asciidoc. If a system installation of asciidoc
is not available, it downloads the sources from
