Description: Tools for AI-assisted qualitative data coding using large
        language models ('LLMs') via the 'ellmer' package, supporting
        providers including 'OpenAI', 'Anthropic', 'Google', 'Azure',
        and local models via 'Ollama'. Provides a 'codebook'-based
        workflow for defining coding instructions and applying them to
        texts, images, and other data. Includes built-in 'codebooks'
        for common applications such as sentiment analysis and policy
        coding, and functions for creating custom 'codebooks' for
        specific research questions. Supports systematic replication
        across models and settings, computing inter-coder reliability
        statistics including Krippendorff's alpha (Krippendorff 2019,
        <doi:10.4135/9781071878781>) and Fleiss' kappa (Fleiss 1971,
        <doi:10.1037/h0031619>), as well as gold-standard validation
        metrics including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scores
        following Sokolova and Lapalme (2009,
        <doi:10.1016/j.ipm.2009.03.002>). Provides audit trail
        functionality for documenting coding workflows following
        Lincoln and Guba's (1985, ISBN:0803924313) framework for
        establishing trustworthiness in qualitative research.
