mgc - Multiscale Graph Correlation

Multiscale Graph Correlation (MGC) is a framework developed by Vogelstein et al. (2019) <DOI:10.7554/eLife.41690> that extends global correlation procedures to be multiscale; consequently, MGC tests typically require far fewer samples than existing methods for a wide variety of dependence structures and dimensionalities, while maintaining computational efficiency. Moreover, MGC provides a simple and elegant multiscale characterization of the potentially complex latent geometry underlying the relationship.

lolR - Linear Optimal Low-Rank Projection

Supervised learning techniques designed for the situation when the dimensionality exceeds the sample size have a tendency to overfit as the dimensionality of the data increases. To remedy this High dimensionality; low sample size (HDLSS) situation, we attempt to learn a lower-dimensional representation of the data before learning a classifier. That is, we project the data to a situation where the dimensionality is more manageable, and then are able to better apply standard classification or clustering techniques since we will have fewer dimensions to overfit. A number of previous works have focused on how to strategically reduce dimensionality in the unsupervised case, yet in the supervised HDLSS regime, few works have attempted to devise dimensionality reduction techniques that leverage the labels associated with the data. In this package and the associated manuscript Vogelstein et al. (2017) <arXiv:1709.01233>, we provide several methods for feature extraction, some utilizing labels and some not, along with easily extensible utilities to simplify cross-validative efforts to identify the best feature extraction method. Additionally, we include a series of adaptable benchmark simulations to serve as a standard for future investigative efforts into supervised HDLSS. Finally, we produce a comprehensive comparison of the included algorithms across a range of benchmark simulations and real data applications.

causalBatch - Causal Batch Effects

Software which provides numerous functionalities for detecting and removing group-level effects from high-dimensional scientific data which, when combined with additional assumptions, allow for causal conclusions, as-described in our manuscripts Bridgeford et al. (2024) <doi:10.1101/2021.09.03.458920> and Bridgeford et al. (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2307.13868>. Also provides a number of useful utilities for generating simulations and balancing covariates across multiple groups/batches of data via matching and propensity trimming for more than two groups.
