Performs multivariate nonparametric regression/classification by the method of sieves (using orthogonal basis). The method is suitable for moderate high-dimensional features (dimension < 100). The l1-penalized sieve estimator, a nonparametric generalization of Lasso, is adaptive to the feature dimension with provable theoretical guarantees. We also include a nonparametric stochastic gradient descent estimator, Sieve-SGD, for online or large scale batch problems. Details of the methods can be found in: <arXiv:2206.02994> <arXiv:2104.00846><arXiv:2310.12140>.

Functions for making particle-size analysis. Sieve tests are widely used to obtain particle-size distribution of powders or granular materials.

Cluster-independent method based on topology structure of gene co-expression network for identifying feature gene sets, extracting cellular subpopulations, and elucidating intrinsic relationships among these subpopulations. Without prior cell clustering, SifiNet circumvents potential inaccuracies in clustering that may influence subsequent analyses. This method is introduced in Qi Gao, Zhicheng Ji, Liuyang Wang, Kouros Owzar, Qi-Jing Li, Cliburn Chan, Jichun Xie "SifiNet: a robust and accurate method to identify feature gene sets and annotate cells" (2024) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkae307>.

SigClust is a statistical method for testing the
        significance of clustering results. SigClust can be applied to
        assess the statistical significance of splitting a data set
        into two clusters. For more than two clusters, SigClust can be
        used iteratively.

Uses logistic regression to model the probability of detection as a function of covariates. 
             This model is then used with observational survey data to estimate population size, while
             accounting for uncertain detection.  See Steinhorst and Samuel (1989).

Provides pseudo-likelihood methods for empirically analyzing common signaling games in international relations as described in Crisman-Cox and Gibilisco (2019) <doi:10.1017/psrm.2019.58>.
