A systematic bioinformatics tool to perform single-sample mutation-based pathway analysis by integrating somatic mutation data with the Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network. In this method, we use local and global weighted strategies to evaluate the effects of network genes from mutations according to the network topology and then calculate the mutation-based pathway enrichment score (ssMutPES) to reflect the accumulated effect of mutations of each pathway. Subsequently, the ssMutPES profiles are used for unsupervised spectral clustering to identify cancer subtypes.

Spatial statistical modeling and prediction for data on stream networks, including models based on in-stream distance (Ver Hoef, J.M. and Peterson, E.E., (2010) <DOI:10.1198/jasa.2009.ap08248>.) Models are created using moving average constructions. Spatial linear models, including explanatory variables, can be fit with (restricted) maximum likelihood.  Mapping and other graphical functions are included.

Fits Bayesian spatio-temporal models and makes predictions on stream networks using the approach by Santos-Fernandez, Edgar, et al. (2022)."Bayesian spatio-temporal models for stream networks". <arXiv:2103.03538>. In these models, spatial dependence is captured using stream distance and flow connectivity, while temporal autocorrelation is modelled using vector autoregression methods.

Soft-margin support vector machines (SVMs) are a common class of classification models. The training of SVMs usually requires that the data be available all at once in a single batch, however the Stochastic majorization-minimization (SMM) algorithm framework allows for the training of SVMs on streamed data instead Nguyen, Jones & McLachlan(2018)<doi:10.1007/s42081-018-0001-y>. This package utilizes the SMM framework to provide functions for training SVMs with hinge loss, squared-hinge loss, and logistic loss.

Simulation-based sampling protocol (SSP) is an R package design to estimate sampling effort in studies of
    ecological communities based on the definition of pseudo-multivariate standard error (MultSE) (Anderson & Santana-Garcon, 2015) <doi:10.1111/ele.12385> and simulation
    of ecological data. The theoretical background is described in Guerra-Castro et al. (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.03.19.996991>.
