multiDimBio: An R Package for the Design, Analysis, and Visualization of   Systems Biology Experiments
  The past decade has witnessed a dramatic increase in the size and scope of biological and behavioral experiments. These experiments are providing an unprecedented level of detail and depth of data. However, this increase in data presents substantial statistical and graphical hurdles to overcome, namely how to distinguish signal from noise and how to visualize multidimensional results. Here we present a series of tools designed to support a research project from inception to publication. We provide implementation of dimension reduction techniques and visualizations that function well with the types of data often seen in animal behavior studies. This package is designed to be used with experimental data but can also be used for experimental design and sample justification. The goal for this project is to create a package that will evolve over time, thereby remaining relevant and reflective of current methods and techniques.
