beautils: Field Planning and Biostatistics Utilities

A toolkit for agricultural trial planning, experimental design, and applied biostatistics. Supports generating field designs such as Latin Square, Alpha-Lattice (Patterson and Williams, 1976 <doi:10.2307/2335087>), and Factorial layouts, with automatic fieldbook creation and layout sketching. Includes a built-in QR Code engine (powered by the 'Nayuki' C library <https://github.com/nayuki/QR-Code-generator>) for generating printable plot labels in PDF. Also provides descriptive statistics utilities for quantitative variables following Field, Miles, and Field (2012, ISBN:978-1-4462-0045-2).
