Narrative citation: Shi et al. (2018)
A toolbox is a set of statistical tools that researchers can use to analyze data, for example, to analyze distributions or to perform statistical modeling.
To cite a toolbox, cite the work in which the toolbox was published (typically a journal article or conference presentation).
Mention the name of the toolbox in the narrative if desired: The Kinect-based biological motion capture (KBC) toolbox allows researchers to capture biological motion information gathered using point-light displays (Shi et al., 2018).
