rcosmo: Cosmic Microwave Background Data Analysis

Tools for handling and analysing spherical data on a HEALPix grid, with applications to cosmic microwave background maps. Supports reading FITS files, converting between spherical and Cartesian coordinates and HEALPix ordering schemes, selecting sky regions, sampling pixels, and visualising maps. Implements empirical covariance, correlation and variogram estimation, covariance model fitting, angular power spectrum estimation, and distributional and entropy-based comparisons of spherical data. The package and its methods are described by Fryer, Li and Olenko (2020) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2020-012>.
