The core of the package is cvr2.ipflasso(), an extension of glmnet to be used when the (large) set of available predictors is partitioned into several modalities which potentially differ with respect to their information content in terms of prediction. For example, in biomedical applications patient outcome such as survival time or response to therapy may have to be predicted based on, say, mRNA data, miRNA data, methylation data, CNV data, clinical data, etc. The clinical predictors are on average often much more important for outcome prediction than the mRNA data. The ipflasso method takes this problem into account by using different penalty parameters for predictors from different modalities. The ratio between the different penalty parameters can be chosen from a set of optional candidates by cross-validation or alternatively generated from the input data.

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>.

Fit a predictive model using iteratively reweighted boosting (IRBoost) to minimize robust loss functions within the CC-family (concave-convex). This constitutes an application of iteratively reweighted convex optimization (IRCO), where convex optimization is performed using the functional descent boosting algorithm. IRBoost assigns weights to facilitate outlier identification. Applications include robust generalized linear models and robust accelerated failure time models. Wang (2025) <doi:10.6339/24-JDS1138>.

The Inductive Subgroup Comparison Approach ('ISCA') offers a way to compare groups that are internally differentiated and heterogeneous. It starts by identifying the social structure of a reference group against which a minority or another group is to be compared, yielding empirical subgroups to which minority members are then matched based on how similar they are. The modelling of specific outcomes then occurs within specific subgroups in which majority and minority members are matched. ISCA is characterized by its data-driven, probabilistic, and iterative approach and combines fuzzy clustering, Monte Carlo simulation, and regression analysis. ISCA_random_assignments() assigns subjects probabilistically to subgroups. ISCA_clustertable() provides summary statistics of each cluster across iterations. ISCA_modeling() provides Ordinary Least Squares regression results for each cluster across iterations. For further details please see Drouhot (2021) <doi:10.1086/712804>.

Imbalanced domain learning has almost exclusively focused on solving classification tasks, where the objective is to predict cases labelled with a rare class accurately. Such a well-defined approach for regression tasks lacked due to two main factors. First, standard regression tasks assume that each value is equally important to the user. Second, standard evaluation metrics focus on assessing the performance of the model on the most common cases. This package contains methods to tackle imbalanced domain learning problems in regression tasks, where the objective is to predict extreme (rare) values. The methods contained in this package are: 1) an automatic and non-parametric method to obtain such relevance functions; 2) visualisation tools; 3) suite of evaluation measures for optimisation/validation processes; 4) the squared-error relevance area measure, an evaluation metric tailored for imbalanced regression tasks. More information can be found in Ribeiro and Moniz (2020) <doi:10.1007/s10994-020-05900-9>.
