Mica is a server application used to create data web portals for large-scale epidemiological studies or multiple-study consortia. Mica helps studies to provide scientifically robust data visibility and web presence without significant information technology effort. Mica provides a structured description of consortia, studies, annotated and searchable data dictionaries, and data access request management. This Mica client allows to perform data extraction for reporting purposes.

Machine learning method specifically designed for pre-miRNA prediction. It takes advantage of unlabeled sequences to improve the prediction rates even when there are just a few positive examples, when the negative examples are unreliable or are not good representatives of its class. Furthermore, the method can automatically search for negative examples if the user is unable to provide them. MiRNAss can find a good boundary to divide the pre-miRNAs from other groups of sequences; it automatically optimizes the threshold that defines the classes boundaries, and thus, it is robust to high class imbalance. Each step of the method is scalable and can handle large volumes of data.

Integrating morphological modeling with machine learning to support structured decision-making (e.g., in management and consulting). The package enumerates a morphospace of feasible configurations and uses random forests to estimate class probabilities over that space, bridging deductive model exploration with empirical validation. It includes utilities for factorizing inputs, model training, morphospace construction, and an interactive shiny app for scenario exploration.

The Markowitz criterion is a multicriteria decision-making method that stands out in risk and uncertainty analysis in contexts where probabilities are known. This approach represents an evolution of Pascal's criterion by incorporating the dimension of variability. In this framework, the expected value reflects the anticipated return, while the standard deviation serves as a measure of risk. The markowitz package provides a practical and accessible tool for implementing this method, enabling researchers and professionals to perform analyses without complex calculations. Thus, the package facilitates the application of the Markowitz criterion. More details on the method can be found in Octave Jokung-Nguéna (2001, ISBN 2100055372).

Offering enhanced statistical power compared to traditional hypothesis testing methods, informative hypothesis testing allows researchers to explicitly model their expectations regarding the relationships among parameters. An important software tool for this framework is restriktor'. The mmirestriktor package provides shiny web applications to implement some of the basic functionality of restriktor'. The mmirestriktor() function launches a shiny application for fitting and analyzing models with constraints. The FbarCards() function launches a card game application which can help build intuition about informative hypothesis testing. The iht_interpreter() helps interpret informative hypothesis testing results based on guidelines in Vanbrabant and Rosseel (2020) <doi:10.4324/9780429273872-14>.
