This package implements lasso and ridge regression for dichotomised outcomes (<doi:10.1080/02664763.2023.2233057>), i.e., numerical outcomes that were transformed to binary outcomes. Such artificial binary outcomes indicate whether an underlying measurement is greater than a threshold.

Accuracy metrics are commonly used to assess the discriminating ability of diagnostic tests or biomarkers. Among them, metrics based on the ROC framework are particularly popular. When classification involves subclasses, the package CompClassMetrics includes functions that can provide the point estimate, confidence interval as well as true values if a parametric setting is known.

Create correlation heatmaps from a numeric matrix. Ensembl Gene ID row names can be converted to Gene Symbols using, e.g., BioMart. Optionally, data can be clustered and filtered by correlation, tree cutting and/or number of missing values. Genes of interest can be highlighted in the plot and correlation significance be indicated by asterisks encoding corresponding P-Values. Plot dimensions and label measures are adjusted automatically by default. The plot features rely on the heatmap.n2() function in the heatmapFlex package.

Estimation of gas transport properties (viscosity, diffusion, thermal conductivity) using Chapman-Enskok theory (Chapman and Larmor 1918, <doi:10.1098/rsta.1918.0005>) and of the second virial coefficient (Vargas et al. 2001, <doi:10.1016/s0378-4371(00)00362-9>) using the Lennard-Jones (12-6) potential. Up to the third order correction is taken into account for viscosity and thermal conductivity. It is also possible to calculate the binary diffusion coefficients of polar and non-polar gases in non-polar bath gases (Brown et al. 2011, <doi:10.1016/j.pecs.2010.12.001>). 16 collision integrals are calculated with four digit accuracy over the reduced temperature range [0.3, 400] using an interpolation function of Kim and Monroe (2014, <doi:10.1016/j.jcp.2014.05.018>).

Clustering, or cluster analysis, is a widely used technique in bioinformatics to identify groups of similar biological data points. Consensus clustering is an extension to clustering algorithms that aims to construct a robust result from those clustering features that are invariant under different sources of variation. For the reference, please cite the following paper: Yousefi, Melograna, et. al., (2023) <doi:10.3389/fmicb.2023.1170391>.

Simulating bivariate survival data from copula models. Estimation of the association parameter in copula models. Two different ways to estimate the association parameter in copula models are implemented. A goodness-of-fit test for a given copula model is implemented. See Emura, Lin and Wang (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2010.03.013> for details.

Proposed by Harrell, the C index or concordance C, is considered an overall measure of discrimination in survival analysis between a survival outcome that is possibly right censored and a predictive-score variable, which can represent a measured biomarker or a composite-score output from an algorithm that combines multiple biomarkers. This package aims to statistically compare two C indices with right-censored survival outcome, which commonly arise from a paired design and thus resulting two correlated C indices.

This package contains functions that can determine whether a time series is second-order stationary or not (and hence evidence for locally stationarity). Given two non-stationary series (i.e. locally stationary series) this package can then discover time-varying linear combinations that are second-order stationary. Cardinali, A. and Nason, G.P. (2013) <doi:10.18637/jss.v055.i01>.

This package provides tools to measure connection and independence between variables without relying on linear models. Includes functions to compute Eta squared, Chi-squared, and Cramer V. The main advantage of this package is that it works without requiring parametric assumptions.
