Provides linear models based on Theil-Sen
        single median and Siegel repeated medians. They are very robust
        (29 or 50 percent breakdown point, respectively), and if no
        outliers are present, the estimators are very similar to OLS.

Lightweight utilities for nucleic acid melting curve analysis are 
    important in life sciences and diagnostics. This software can be used for 
    the analysis and presentation of melting curve data from microbead-based 
    assays (surface melting curve analysis) and reactions in solution (e.g., 
    quantitative PCR (qPCR), real-time isothermal Amplification). Further 
    information are described in detail in two publications in The R Journal [

Utilizing a combination of machine learning models (Random Forest, Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor, Support Vector Machines, Extreme Gradient Boosting, and Linear Discriminant Analysis) and a deep Artificial Neural Network model, 'MBMethPred' can predict medulloblastoma subgroups, including wingless (WNT), sonic hedgehog (SHH), Group 3, and Group 4 from DNA methylation beta values. See Sharif Rahmani E, Lawarde A, Lingasamy P, Moreno SV, Salumets A and Modhukur V (2023), MBMethPred: a computational framework for the accurate classification of childhood medulloblastoma subgroups using data integration and AI-based approaches.

Evaluate whether a microbiome sample is a mixture of two
    samples, by fitting a model for the number of read counts as a
    function of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) allele and the
    genotypes of two potential source samples.

Fits Bayesian dose-response model-based network meta-analysis (MBNMA) 
    that incorporate multiple doses within an agent by modelling different dose-response functions, as
    described by Mawdsley et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/psp4.12091>. 
    By modelling dose-response relationships this can connect networks of evidence that might
    otherwise be disconnected, and can improve precision on treatment estimates. Several common 
    dose-response functions are provided; others may be added by the user. Various characteristics
    and assumptions can be flexibly added to the models, such as shared class effects. The consistency 
    of direct and indirect evidence in the network can be assessed using unrelated mean effects models 
    and/or by node-splitting at the treatment level.
