  Analysis'

doi: 10.1016/j.psyneuen.2025.107584
abstract: Implements Phase-Aligned Cycle Time Scaling (PACTS) for menstrual cycle
  data, placing observations from cycles of differing length onto a common continuous
  timeline that accounts for variability in ovulation timing. Provides cycle time
  variables anchored on either menses onset or ovulation, summaries of how ovulation
  was determined in each cycle, and plotting functions for cycle-aligned outcomes.
  Methods are described in Nagpal et al. (2025) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psyneuen.2025.107584>.
