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.
