Generates interactive plots for analysing and visualising three-class high dimensional data. It is particularly suited to visualising differences in continuous attributes such as gene/protein/biomarker expression levels between three groups. Differential gene/biomarker expression analysis between two classes is typically shown as a volcano plot. However, with three groups this type of visualisation is particularly difficult to interpret. This package generates 3D volcano plots and 3-way polar plots for easier interpretation of three-class data.

The goal of the package is to equip the jmcm package (current version 0.2.1) with estimations of the covariance of estimated parameters. Two methods are provided. The first method is to use the inverse of estimated Fisher's information matrix, see M. Pourahmadi (2000) <doi:10.1093/biomet/87.2.425>, M. Maadooliat, M. Pourahmadi and J. Z. Huang (2013) <doi:10.1007/s11222-011-9284-6>, and W. Zhang, C. Leng, C. Tang (2015) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12065>. The second method is bootstrap based, see Liu, R.Y. (1988) <doi:10.1214/aos/1176351062> for reference.

Three steps variable selection procedure based on random forests. Initially developed to handle high dimensional data (for which number of variables largely exceeds number of observations), the package is very versatile and can treat most dimensions of data, for regression and supervised classification problems. First step is dedicated to eliminate irrelevant variables from the dataset. Second step aims to select all variables related to the response for interpretation purpose. Third step refines the selection by eliminating redundancy in the set of variables selected by the second step, for prediction purpose. Genuer, R. Poggi, J.-M. and Tuleau-Malot, C. (2015) <https://journal.r-project.org/articles/RJ-2015-018/>.

The results and model performance are assessed using the vaccineff class.

Alternative splicing produces a variety of different protein products from a given gene. VALERIE enables visualisation of alternative splicing events from high-throughput single-cell RNA-sequencing experiments. VALERIE computes percent spliced-in (PSI) values for user-specified genomic coordinates corresponding to alternative splicing events. PSI is the proportion of sequencing reads supporting the included exon/intron as defined by Shiozawa (2018) <doi:10.1038/s41467-018-06063-x>. PSI are inferred from sequencing reads data based on specialised infrastructures for representing and computing annotated genomic ranges by Lawrence (2013) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003118>. Computed PSI for each single cell are subsequently presented in the form of a heatmap implemented using the pheatmap package by Kolde (2010) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=pheatmap>. Board overview of the mean PSI difference and associated p-values across different user-defined groups of single cells are presented in the form of a line graph using the ggplot2 package by Wickham (2007) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=ggplot2>.

It provides a comprehensive toolkit for calculating a suite of common vegetation indices (VIs) derived from remote sensing imagery. VIs are essential tools used to quantify vegetation characteristics, such as biomass, leaf area index (LAI) and photosynthetic activity, which are essential parameters in various ecological, agricultural, and environmental studies. Applications of this package include biomass estimation, crop monitoring, forest management, land use and land cover change analysis and climate change studies. For method details see, Deb,D.,Deb,S.,Chakraborty,D.,Singh,J.P.,Singh,A.K.,Dutta,P.and Choudhury,A.(2020)<doi:10.1080/10106049.2020.1756461>.

EQ-5D is a standard instrument (<https://euroqol.org/eq-5d-instruments/>) that measures the quality of life often used in clinical and economic evaluations of health care technologies. Both adult versions of EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L) contain a descriptive system and visual analog scale. The descriptive system measures the patient's health in 5 dimensions: the 5L versions has 5 levels and 3L version has 3 levels. The descriptive system scores are usually converted to index values using country specific values sets (that incorporates the country preferences). This package allows the calculation of both descriptive system scores to the index value scores. The value sets for EQ-5D-3L are from the references mentioned in the website <https://euroqol.org/eq-5d-instruments/eq-5d-3l-about/valuation/> The value sets for EQ-5D-3L for a total of 31 countries are used for the valuation (see the user guide for a complete list of references). The value sets for EQ-5D-5L are obtained from references mentioned in the <https://euroqol.org/eq-5d-instruments/eq-5d-5l-about/valuation-standard-value-sets/> and other sources. The value sets for EQ-5D-5L for a total of 17 countries are used for the valuation (see the user guide for a complete list of references). The package can also be used to map 5L scores to 3L index values for 10 countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Thailand, UK, USA, and Zimbabwe. The value set and method for mapping are obtained from Van Hout et al (2012) <doi: 10.1016/j.jval.2012.02.008>.

This package provides a Variational Bayesian algorithm for high-dimensional multi-source heterogeneous linear models. More details have been written up in a paper submitted to the journal Statistics in Medicine, and the details of variational Bayesian methods can be found in Ray and Szabo (2021) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2020.1847121>. It simultaneously performs parameter estimation and variable selection. The algorithm supports two model settings: (1) local models, where variable selection is only applied to homogeneous coefficients, and (2) global models, where variable selection is also performed on heterogeneous coefficients. Two forms of Spike-and-Slab priors are available: the Laplace distribution and the Gaussian distribution as the Slab component.
