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, audio recordings, and other data, with optional
        transcription of audio and translation of texts before coding
        through 'DeepL', 'Google', 'Qwen-MT', or a chat model. 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.
