There are 6 novel robust tests for equal correlation. They are all based on logistic regressions. The score statistic U is proportion to difference of two correlations based on different types of correlation in 6 methods. The ST1() is based on Pearson correlation. ST2() improved ST1() by using median absolute deviation. ST3() utilized type M correlation and ST4() used Spearman correlation. ST5() and ST6() used two different ways to combine ST3() and ST4(). We highly recommend ST5() according to the article titled New Statistical Methods for Constructing Robust Differential Correlation Networks to characterize the interactions among microRNAs published in Scientific Reports.

Model building, surrogate model based optimization and Efficient Global Optimization in combinatorial or mixed search spaces.

CIFTI files contain brain imaging data in "grayordinates," which represent the gray matter as cortical surface vertices (left and right) and subcortical voxels (cerebellum, basal ganglia, and other deep gray matter). ciftiTools provides a unified environment for reading, writing, visualizing and manipulating CIFTI-format data. It supports the "dscalar," "dlabel," and "dtseries" intents. Grayordinate data is read in as a "xifti" object, which is structured for convenient access to the data and metadata, and includes support for surface geometry files to enable spatially-dependent functionality such as static or interactive visualizations and smoothing.

Fits convolution-based nonstationary Gaussian process models to point-referenced spatial data. The nonstationary covariance function allows the user to specify the underlying correlation structure and which spatial dependence parameters should be allowed to vary over space: the anisotropy, nugget variance, and process variance. The parameters are estimated via maximum likelihood, using a local likelihood approach. Also provided are functions to fit stationary spatial models for comparison, calculate the Kriging predictor and standard errors, and create various plots to visualize nonstationarity.

This package provides a constrained generalized additive model is fitted by the cgam routine. Given a set of predictors, each of which may have a shape or order restrictions, the maximum likelihood estimator for the constrained generalized additive model is found using an iteratively re-weighted cone projection algorithm. The ShapeSelect routine chooses a subset of predictor variables and describes the component relationships with the response. For each predictor, the user needs only specify a set of possible shape or order restrictions. A model selection method chooses the shapes and orderings of the relationships as well as the variables. The cone information criterion (CIC) is used to select the best combination of variables and shapes. A genetic algorithm may be used when the set of possible models is large. In addition, the cgam routine implements a two-dimensional isotonic regression using warped-plane splines without additivity assumptions. It can also fit a convex or concave regression surface with triangle splines without additivity assumptions. See Liao X, Meyer MC (2019)<doi:10.18637/jss.v089.i05> for more details.
