Contains basic tools for performing 
  multiple-output quantile regression and computing
  regression quantile contours by means of directional
  regression quantiles. In the location case, one can thus
  obtain halfspace depth contours in two to six dimensions.

Datasets and functions for the book "Modélisation statistique par la pratique avec R", F. Bertrand, E. Claeys and M. Maumy-Bertrand (2019, ISBN:9782100793525, Dunod, Paris). The first chapter of the book is dedicated to an introduction to the R statistical software. The second chapter deals with correlation analysis: Pearson, Spearman and Kendall simple, multiple and partial correlation coefficients. New wrapper functions for permutation tests or bootstrap of matrices of correlation are provided with the package. The third chapter is dedicated to data exploration with factorial analyses (PCA, CA, MCA, MDA) and clustering. The fourth chapter is dedicated to regression analysis: fitting and model diagnostics are detailed. The exercises focus on covariance analysis, logistic regression, Poisson regression, two-way analysis of variance for fixed or random factors. Various example datasets are shipped with the package: for instance on pokemon, world of warcraft, house tasks or food nutrition analyses.

Consistent user interface to the most common regression and classification algorithms, such as random forest, neural networks, C5 trees and support vector machines, complemented with a handful of auxiliary functions, such as variable importance and a tuning function for the parameters.

Turning point method is a method proposed by Choi (1990) <doi:10.2307/2531453> to 
    estimate 50 percent effective dose (ED50) in the study of drug sensitivity. The method has 
    its own advantages for that it can provide robust ED50 estimation. This package contains 
    the modified function of Choi's turning point method.
