  package, river networks consist of sections and nodes with
  associated attributes,  e.g. to characterise their morphological,
  chemical and biological state. The package provides functions to

  Maintainer: Frank Papenmeier
  Author(s): Frank Papenmeier [aut, cre], Konstantin Sering [ctb]

  http://crantastic.org/packages/segmag

  This package contains functions that help to determine event
  boundaries in event segmentation experiments by bootstrapping a
  critical segmentation magnitude under the null hypothesis that all
  key presses were randomly distributed across the experiment.
  Segmentation magnitude is defined as the sum of Gaussians centered
  at the times of the segmentation key presses performed by the
  participants. Within a participant, the maximum of the overlaid
  Gaussians is used to prevent an excessive influence of a single
  participant on the overall outcome (e.g. if a participant is
  pressing the key multiple times in succession). Further functions
  are included, such as plotting the results.

  instruments. The algorithm selects potentially invalid instruments
  and provides an estimate of the causal effect between exposure and
  outcome. The paper, Instrumental Variables Estimation with Some
  Invalid Instruments and its Application to Mendelian Randomization
  by Hyunseung Kang, Anru Zhang, T. Tony Cai, and Dylan S. Small (on
  arXiv) has more details on this procedure.
