This package provides a reliable and flexible toolbox to score patient-reported outcome (PRO), Quality of Life (QOL), and other psychometric measures. The guiding philosophy is that scoring errors can be eliminated by using a limited number of well-tested, well-behaved functions to score PRO-like measures. The workhorse of the package is the scoreScale function, which can be used to score most single-scale measures. It can reverse code items that need to be reversed before scoring and pro-rate scores for missing item data. Currently, three different types of scores can be output: summed item scores, mean item scores, and scores scaled to range from 0 to 100. The PROscorerTools functions can be used to write new functions that score more complex measures. In fact, PROscorerTools functions are the building blocks of the scoring functions in the PROscorer package (which is a repository of functions that score specific commonly-used instruments). Users are encouraged to use PROscorerTools to write scoring functions for their favorite PRO-like instruments, and to submit these functions for inclusion in PROscorer (a tutorial vignette will be added soon). The long-term vision for the PROscorerTools and PROscorer packages is to provide an easy-to-use system to facilitate the incorporation of PRO measures into research studies in a scientifically rigorous and reproducible manner. These packages and their vignettes are intended to help establish and promote "best practices" for scoring and describing PRO-like measures in research.

When working with big data sets, RAM conservation is critically important. However, it is not always enough to just monitor the size of the objects created. So-called "copy-on-modify" behavior, characteristic of R, means that some expressions or functions may require an unexpectedly large amount of RAM overhead. For example, replacing a single value in a matrix duplicates that matrix in the back-end, making this task require twice as much RAM as that used by the matrix itself. This package makes it easy to monitor the total and peak RAM used so that developers can quickly identify and eliminate RAM hungry code.

This package provides a tool for inferring kinase activity changes from phosphoproteomics data. pKSEA uses kinase-substrate prediction scores to weight observed changes in phosphopeptide abundance to calculate a phosphopeptide-level contribution score, then sums up these contribution scores by kinase to obtain a phosphoproteome-level kinase activity change score (KAC score). pKSEA then assesses the significance of changes in predicted substrate abundances for each kinase using permutation testing. This results in a permutation score (pKSEA significance score) reflecting the likelihood of a similarly high or low KAC from random chance, which can then be interpreted in an analogous manner to an empirically calculated p-value. pKSEA contains default databases of kinase-substrate predictions from NetworKIN (NetworKINPred_db) <http://networkin.info> Horn, et. al (2014) <doi:10.1038/nmeth.2968> and of known kinase-substrate links from PhosphoSitePlus (KSEAdb) <https://www.phosphosite.org/> Hornbeck PV, et. al (2015) <doi:10.1093/nar/gku1267>.
