RIFanalysis: Relative Importance Factor Analysis

Tools for estimating, comparing, and visualizing Relative Importance Factor (RIF) indices based on rank-frequency distributions and discrete power-law models. The package provides reproducible workflows for data preparation, model fitting, goodness-of-fit assessment, bootstrap inference, and publication-ready outputs. The implemented methodology is described in Llinas et al. (2026) <doi:10.3390/math14060966>.
