Inference concerning equilibrium and random mating in autopolyploids. Methods are available to test for equilibrium and random mating at any even ploidy level (>2) in the presence of double reduction at biallelic loci. For autopolyploid populations in equilibrium, methods are available to estimate the degree of double reduction. We also provide functions to calculate genotype frequencies at equilibrium, or after one or several rounds of random mating, given rates of double reduction. The main function is hwefit().

This package provides functions to compute small area estimates based on a basic area or unit-level model. The model is fit using restricted maximum likelihood, or in a hierarchical Bayesian way. In the latter case numerical integration is used to average over the posterior density for the between-area variance. The output includes the model fit, small area estimates and corresponding mean squared errors, as well as some model selection measures. Additional functions provide means to compute aggregate estimates and mean squared errors, to minimally adjust the small area estimates to benchmarks at a higher aggregation level, and to graphically compare different sets of small area estimates.

The holonomic gradient method (HGM, hgm) gives a way to evaluate normalization constants of unnormalized probability distributions by utilizing holonomic systems of differential or difference equations. The holonomic gradient descent (HGD, hgd) gives a method to find maximal likelihood estimates by utilizing the HGM.

Bipartite graph-based hierarchical clustering, developed for pharmacogenomic datasets and datasets sharing the same data structure. The goal is to construct a hierarchical clustering of groups of samples based on association patterns between two sets of variables. In the context of pharmacogenomic datasets, the samples are cell lines, and the two sets of variables are typically expression levels and drug sensitivity values. For this method, sparse canonical correlation analysis from Lee, W., Lee, D., Lee, Y. and Pawitan, Y. (2011) <doi:10.2202/1544-6115.1638> is first applied to extract association patterns for each group of samples. Then, a nuclear norm-based dissimilarity measure is used to construct a dissimilarity matrix between groups based on the extracted associations. Finally, hierarchical clustering is applied.

Starting from user-supplied institutional data, these scripts transform, aggregate, and reshape the information to produce key-value pair data files that are able to be uploaded to IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System) through their submission portal <https://surveys.nces.ed.gov/ipeds/>. Starting data specifications can be found in the vignettes. Final files are saved locally to a location of the user's choice. User-friendly readable files can also be produced for purposes of data review and validation.

In classification problems a monotone relation between some predictors and the classes may be assumed. In this package isoboost we propose new boosting algorithms, based on LogitBoost, that incorporate this isotonicity information, yielding more accurate and easily interpretable rules.

This package provides a comprehensive toolkit for clinical Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) informatics, built on tidyverse <https://tidyverse.tidyverse.org/> principles and making use of genotype list string (GL string, Mack et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/tan.15126>) for storing and computing HLA genotype data. Specific functionalities include: coercion of HLA data in tabular format to and from GL string; calculation of matching and mismatching in all directions, with multiple output formats; automatic formatting of HLA data for searching within a GL string; truncation of molecular HLA data to a specific number of fields; and reading HLA genotypes in HML files and extracting the GL string. This library is intended for research use. Any application making use of this package in a clinical setting will need to be independently validated according to local regulations.

Mining informative genes with certain biological meanings are important for clinical diagnosis of disease and discovery of disease mechanisms in plants and animals. This process involves identification of relevant genes and removal of redundant genes as much as possible from a whole gene set. This package selects the informative genes related to a specific trait using gene expression dataset. These trait specific genes are considered as informative genes. This package returns the informative gene set from the high dimensional gene expression data using a combination of methods SVM and MRMR (for feature selection) with bootstrapping procedure.

Analysis and visualization of experimentally elucidated mutational signatures -- the kind of analysis and visualization in Boot et al., "In-depth characterization of the cisplatin mutational signature in human cell lines and in esophageal and liver tumors", Genome Research 2018, <doi:10.1101/gr.230219.117> and "Characterization of colibactin-associated mutational signature in an Asian oral squamous cell carcinoma and in other mucosal tumor types", Genome Research 2020 <doi:10.1101/gr.255620.119>.

The itdr() routine allows for the estimation of sufficient dimension reduction subspaces in univariate regression such as the central mean subspace or central subspace in regression. This is achieved using Fourier transformation methods proposed by Zhu and Zeng (2006) <doi:10.1198/016214506000000140>, convolution transformation methods proposed by Zeng and Zhu (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2009.08.004>, and iterative Hessian transformation methods proposed by Cook and Li (2002) <doi:10.1214/aos/1021379861>. Additionally, mitdr() function provides optimal estimators for sufficient dimension reduction subspaces in multivariate regression by optimizing a discrepancy function using a Fourier transform approach proposed by Weng and Yin (2022) <doi:10.5705/ss.202020.0312>, and selects the sufficient variables using Fourier transform sparse inverse regression estimators proposed by Weng (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2021.107380>.

Imputing blockwise missing data by imprecise imputation, featuring a domain-based, variable-wise, and case-wise strategy. Furthermore, the estimation of lower and upper bounds for unconditional and conditional probabilities based on the obtained imprecise data is implemented. Additionally, two utility functions are supplied: one to check whether variables in a data set contain set-valued observations; and another to merge two already imprecisely imputed data. The method is described in a technical report by Endres, Fink and Augustin (2018, <doi:10.5282/ubm/epub.42423>).
