Description: Nonparametric (and semiparametric) kernel methods that seamlessly
    handle a mix of continuous, unordered, and ordered factor data types. This
    package is a parallel implementation of the 'np' package based on the 'MPI'
    specification that incorporates the 'Rmpi' package (Hao Yu
    <hyu@stats.uwo.ca>) with minor modifications and we are extremely grateful
    to Hao Yu for his contributions to the 'R' community. We would like to
    gratefully acknowledge support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering
    Research Council of Canada (NSERC, <https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/>), the
    Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC,
    <https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/>), and the Shared Hierarchical Academic
    Research Computing Network (SHARCNET, <https://sharcnet.ca/>). We would
    also like to acknowledge the contributions of the 'GNU GSL' authors. In
    particular, we adapt the 'GNU GSL' B-spline routine 'gsl_bspline.c' adding
    automated support for quantile knots (in addition to uniform knots),
    providing missing functionality for derivatives, and for extending the
    splines beyond their endpoints.
