It is well known that the distribution of a Gaussian ratio does not follow a Gaussian distribution. The lack of awareness among users of vegetation indices about this non-Gaussian nature could lead to incorrect statistical modeling and interpretation. This package provides tools to accurately handle and analyse such ratios: density function, parameter estimation, simulation. An example on the study of chlorophyll fluorescence can be found in A. El Ghaziri et al. (2023) <doi:10.3390/rs15020528> and another method for parameter estimation is given in Bouhlel et al. (2023) <doi:10.23919/EUSIPCO58844.2023.10290111>.
