Implements methods for identifying linear and nonlinear marker combinations that maximizes the Area Under the AUC Curve (AUC).

Threshold regression models are also called two-phase regression, broken-stick regression, split-point regression, structural change models, and regression kink models, with and without interaction terms. Methods for both continuous and discontinuous threshold models are included, but the support for the former is much greater. This package is described in Fong, Huang, Gilbert and Permar (2017) <DOI:10.1186/s12859-017-1863-x>.

FS-DAM performs feature extraction through latent variables identification. Implementation is based on autoencoders with monotonicity and orthogonality constraints.

Implements several methods for testing the variance component parameter in regression models that contain kernel-based random effects, including a maximum of adjusted scores test. Several kernels are supported, including a profile hidden Markov model mutual information kernel for protein sequence. This package is described in Fong et al. (2015) <DOI:10.1093/biostatistics/kxu056>.

A miscellaneous set of functions for printing, plotting, kernels, etc. Additional contributors are acknowledged on individual function help pages.

Estimates risk as a function of a marker by integrating over other covariates in a conditional risk model.

Dimension-reduction methods aim at defining a score that maximizes signal diversity. Three approaches, tree weight, maximum entropy weights, and maximum variance weights are provided. These methods are described in He and Fong (2019) <DOI:10.1002/sim.8212>.

Performs nonlinear calibration and curve fitting for data from Luminex, RT-PCR, ELISA, RPPA etc. Its precursor is Ruminex. This package is described in Fong et al. (2013) <DOI:10.1093/bioinformatics/btt456>.

Estimation, prediction and testing for analyzing serial dilution assay data (Fong and Yu 2015 <DOI:10.1080/19466315.2015.1093019>) using paired response curve, which is a model of the nonlinear functional relationship between experimental outcomes measured at two different dilutions.

Implements two-sample tests for paired data with missing values (Fong, Huang, Lemos and McElrath 2018, Biostatics, <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxx039>) and modified Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney two sample location test, also known as the Fligner-Policello test.

Implements semiparametric transformation model two-phase estimation using calibration weights. The method in Fong and Gilbert (2015) Calibration weighted estimation of semiparametric transformation models for two-phase sampling. Statistics in Medicine <DOI:10.1002/sim.6439>.
