New package care with initial version 1.0.0
Package: care
Version: 1.0.0
Date: 2010-08-08
Title: CAR Estimation, Variable Selection, and Regression
Author: Verena Zuber and Korbinian Strimmer.
Maintainer: Korbinian Strimmer
Depends: R (>= 2.7.0), corpcor (>= 1.5.7)
Suggests:
Description: The "care" package implements the CAR regression approach described in Zuber and Strimmer (2010). CAR scores measure the correlations between the response and the Mahalanobis-decorrelated predictors. The squared CAR score is a natural measure of variable importance and provides a canonical ordering of variables - see http://arxiv.org/abs/1007.5516 for details. This package provides functions for estimating CAR scores, for variable selection using CAR scores, and for estimating corresponding regression coefficients. Both shrinkage as well as empirical estimators are available.
