In weecology/MATSS: Macroecological Analyses of Time Series Structure

#' @title Macroecological Analayses of Time Series Structure
#'
#' @description Support for macroecological analyses of time series. The intent 
#'   of the package is to enable end users to run analyses on a collection of
#'   population and community time series data. Functions are provided to 
#'   download and import datasets, produce reproducible workflows using the 
#'   `drake` package, and for generating research compendia with code and 
#'   reports.
