Computed ABC Analysis allows the optimal calculation of three disjoint subsets A,B,C in data sets containing positive values:subset A containing few most profitable values, i.e. largest data values ("the important few"), 
subset B containing data, where the profit gain equals effort required to obtain this gain, and the
subset C of non-profitable values, i.e. the smallest data sets ("the trivial many").This package calculates the three subsets A, B and C by means of an algorithm based on 
statistically valid definitions of thresholds for the three sets A,B and C.

 package

For a given data set, the package provides a novel method of computing precise limits to acquire subsets which are easily interpreted. Closely related to the Lorenz curve, the ABC curve visualizes the data by graphically representing the cumulative distribution function. Based on an ABC analysis the algorithm calculates, with the help of the ABC curve, the optimal limits by exploiting the mathematical properties pertaining to distribution of analyzed items. The data containing positive values is divided into three disjoint subsets A, B and C, with subset A comprising very profitable values, i.e. largest data values ("the important few"), subset B comprising values where the yield equals to the effort required to obtain it, and the subset C comprising of non-profitable values, i.e., the smallest data sets ("the trivial many"). Package is based on "Computed ABC Analysis for rational Selection of most informative Variables in multivariate Data", PLoS One. Ultsch. A., Lotsch J. (2015) <DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0129767>.
