Description: Provides standardised functions for quantifying plant disease intensity and disease development over time. The package implements Percent Disease Index (PDI) for assessing overall disease severity based on categorical ratings, Area Under the Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC) for summarizing disease progression using trapezoidal integration, and Relative AUDPC (rAUDPC) for expressing disease development relative to the maximum possible severity over the observation period. These indices are widely used in plant pathology and epidemiology for comparing treatments, cultivars, and environments.
