CONCLUSION

I optimistically envisage the fossil package growing larger and larger in both function and use. As the project is Open Source, I encourage others to help aid in its development both by simply using it in various and novel situations, as well as suggesting new possible methods, indices and functions that may be useful. As well, I readily encourage others to use the original source code for their own purposes, with the only caveat that attribution is given where appropriate. I hope that encouraging the recopying and reuse of this code will save others time while developing their methods and allow more time for the actual data analysis.
