New package treelet with initial version 1.0
Package: treelet
Type: Package
Title: Treelets - an adaptive multi-scale basis for high-dimensional, sparse and unordered data
Version: 1.0
Date: 2012-08-14
Author: Di Liu and Trent Gaugler
Maintainer: Trent Gaugler
Description: Treelets provides a novel construction of multi-scale bases that extends wavelets to non-smooth signals. It returns a multi-scale orthonormal basis, where the final computed basis functions are supported on nested clusters in a hierarchical tree. Both the tree and the basis, which are constructed simultaneously, reflect the internal structure of the data.

Package MetaQC updated to version 0.1.11 with previous version 0.1.10-2 dated 2012-05-27

Title: MetaQC: Objective Quality Control and Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria for Genomic Meta-Analysis
Description: MetaQC implements our proposed quantitative quality control measures: (1) internal homogeneity of co-expression structure among studies (internal quality control; IQC); (2) external consistency of co-expression structure correlating with pathway database (external quality control; EQC); (3) accuracy of differentially expressed gene detection (accuracy quality control; AQCg) or pathway identification (AQCp); (4) consistency of differential expression ranking in genes (consistency quality control; CQCg) or pathways (CQCp). (See the reference for detailed explanation.) For each quality control index, the p-values from statistical hypothesis testing are minus log transformed and PCA biplots were applied to assist visualization and decision. Results generate systematic suggestions to exclude problematic studies in microarray meta-analysis and potentially can be extended to GWAS or other types of genomic meta-analysis. The identified problematic studies can be scrutinized to identify technical and biological causes (e.g. sample size, platform, tissue collection, preprocessing etc) of their bad quality or irreproducibility for final inclusion/exclusion decision.

Package Benchmarking updated to version 0.21 with previous version 0.20 dated 2011-09-12

Title: Benchmark and frontier analysis using DEA and SFA
Description: The package contains methods to support frontier analysis. It covers Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). DEA is supported under different technology assumptions (fdh, vrs, drs, crs, irs, add/frh, and fdh+), and using different efficiency measures (input based, output based, hyperbolic graph, additive, super, and directional efficiency). Peers and slacks are available, partial price information can be included, and optimal cost, revenue and profit can be calculated. Evaluation of mergers is also supported. Methods for graphing the technology sets are also included. The package also support comparative methods based on Stochastic Frontier Analyses (SFA). In general, the methods can be used to solve not only standard models, but also many other model variants. The package complements the book, Bogetoft and Otto, Benchmarking with DEA, SFA, and R, Springer-Verlag, 2011, but can of course also be used as a stand-alone package.

Package pcaPA updated to version 1.1 with previous version 1.0 dated 2012-05-08

Title: Parallel Analysis for ordinal and numeric data using polychoric and Pearson correlations with S3 classes.
Description: A set of functions to perform parallel analysis for principal components analysis intended mainly for large data sets. It performs a parallel analysis of continuous, ordered (including dichotomous/binary as a special case) or mixed type of data associated with a principal components analysis. Polychoric correlations among ordered variables, Pearson correlations among continuous variables and polyserial correlation between mixed type variables (one ordered and one continuous) are used. Whenever the use of polyserial or polychoric correlations yields a non positive definite correlation matrix, the resulting matrix is transformed into the nearest positive definite matrix.
