Selection of informative features like genes, transcripts, RNA seq, etc. using Bootstrap Maximum Relevance and Minimum Redundancy technique from a given high dimensional genomic dataset. Informative gene selection involves identification of relevant genes and removal of redundant genes as much as possible from a large gene space. Main applications in high-dimensional expression data analysis (e.g. microarray data, NGS expression data and other genomics and proteomics applications).

In p >> n settings, full posterior sampling using existing Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms is highly inefficient and often not feasible from a practical perspective. To overcome this problem, we propose a scalable stochastic search algorithm that is called the Simplified Shotgun Stochastic Search (S5) and aimed at rapidly explore interesting regions of model space and finding the maximum a posteriori(MAP) model. Also, the S5 provides an approximation of posterior probability of each model (including the marginal inclusion probabilities). This algorithm is a part of an article titled "Scalable Bayesian Variable Selection Using Nonlocal Prior Densities in Ultrahigh-dimensional Settings" (2018) by Minsuk Shin, Anirban Bhattacharya, and Valen E. Johnson and "Nonlocal Functional Priors for Nonparametric Hypothesis Testing and High-dimensional Model Selection" (2020+) by Minsuk Shin and Anirban Bhattacharya.

This package provides functions for training an optimal decision tree classifier, making predictions and generating latex code for plotting. Works for two-class and multi-class classification problems. The algorithm seeks the optimal Boolean rule consisting of multiple variables to split a node, resulting in shorter trees. Use bsnsing() to build a tree, predict() to make predictions and plot() to plot the tree into latex and PDF. See Yanchao Liu (2022) <arXiv:2205.15263> for technical details. Source code and more data sets are at <https://github.com/profyliu/bsnsing/>.

Package binr (pronounced as "binner") provides algorithms for cutting numerical values exhibiting a potentially highly skewed distribution into evenly distributed groups (bins). This functionality can be applied for binning discrete values, such as counts, as well as for discretization of continuous values, for example, during generation of features used in machine learning algorithms.

This package implements the Beta Kernel Process (BKP) for nonparametric modeling of spatially varying binomial probabilities, together with its extension, the Dirichlet Kernel Process (DKP), for categorical or multinomial data. The package provides functions for model fitting, predictive inference with uncertainty quantification, posterior simulation, and visualization in one-and two-dimensional input spaces. Multiple kernel functions (Gaussian, Matern 5/2, and Matern 3/2) are supported, with hyperparameters optimized through multi-start gradient-based search. For more details, see Zhao, Qing, and Xu (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2508.10447>.

Build and use B-splines for interpolation and regression. In case of regression, equality constraints as well as monotonicity and/or positivity of B-spline weights can be imposed. Moreover, knot positions can be on regular grid or be part of optimized parameters too (in addition to the spline weights). For this end, bspline is able to calculate Jacobian of basis vectors as function of knot positions. User is provided with functions calculating spline values at arbitrary points. These functions can be differentiated and integrated to obtain B-splines calculating derivatives/integrals at any point. B-splines of this package can simultaneously operate on a series of curves sharing the same set of knots. bspline is written with concern about computing performance that's why the basis and Jacobian calculation is implemented in C++. The rest is implemented in R but without notable impact on computing speed.

The purpose of this package is to fit the three Spatial Econometric Models proposed in Anselin (1988, ISBN:9024737354) in the homoscedastic and the heteroscedatic case. The fit is made through MCMC algorithms and observational working variables approach.
