Selection of the number of clusters in cluster analysis using stability methods.

Predict the course of clinical trial with a time-to-event endpoint for both two-arm and single-arm design. Each of the four primary study design parameters (the expected number of observed events, the number of subjects enrolled, the observation time, and the censoring parameter) can be derived analytically given the other three parameters. And the simulation datasets can be generated based on the design settings.

Joint and Individual Variation Explained (JIVE) is a method for decomposing multiple datasets obtained on the same subjects into shared structure, structure unique to each dataset, and noise. The two most common implementations are R.JIVE, an iterative approach, and AJIVE, which uses principal angle analysis. JIVE estimates subspaces but interpreting these subspaces can be challenging with AJIVE or R.JIVE. We expand upon insights into AJIVE as a canonical correlation analysis (CCA) of principal component scores. This reformulation, which we call CJIVE, 1) provides an ordering of joint components by the degree of correlation between corresponding canonical variables; 2) uses a computationally efficient permutation test for the number of joint components, which provides a p-value for each component; and 3) can be used to predict subject scores for out-of-sample observations.

This package creates a 3D data cube view of a RasterStack/Brick, typically a collection/array of RasterLayers (along z-axis) with the same geographical extent (x and y dimensions) and resolution, provided by package raster'. Slices through each dimension (x/y/z), freely adjustable in location, are mapped to the visible sides of the cube. The cube can be freely rotated. Zooming and panning can be used to focus on different areas of the cube.

Computing elliptical joint confidence regions at a specified confidence level. It provides the flexibility to estimate either classical or robust confidence regions, which can be visualized in 2D or 3D plots. The classical approach assumes normality and uses the mean and covariance matrix to define the confidence regions. Alternatively, the robustified version employs estimators like minimum covariance determinant (MCD) and M-estimator, making them less sensitive to outliers and departures from normality. Furthermore, the functions allow users to group the dataset based on categorical variables and estimate separate confidence regions for each group. This capability is particularly useful for exploring potential differences or similarities across subgroups within a dataset. Varmuza and Filzmoser (2009, ISBN:978-1-4200-5947-2).

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 provides a collection of functions dedicated to simulating staggered entry platform trials whereby the treatment under investigation is a combination of two active compounds. In order to obtain approval for this combination therapy, superiority of the combination over the two active compounds and superiority of the two active compounds over placebo need to be demonstrated.

This package provides a tool for analyzing conjoint experiments using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees ('BART'), a machine learning method developed by Chipman, George and McCulloch (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS285>. This tool focuses specifically on estimating, identifying, and visualizing the heterogeneity within marginal component effects, at the observation- and individual-level. It uses a variable importance measure ('VIMP') with delete-d jackknife variance estimation, following Ishwaran and Lu (2019) <doi:10.1002/sim.7803>, to obtain bias-corrected estimates of which variables drive heterogeneity in the predicted individual-level effects.
