A collection of nice plotting functions directly from a data.frame with limited customisation possibilities.

Analyzing censored variables usually requires the use of optimization algorithms. This package provides an alternative algebraic approach to the task of determining the expected value of a random censored variable with a known censoring point. Likewise this approach allows for the determination of the censoring point if the expected value is known. These results are derived under the assumption that the variable follows an Epanechnikov kernel distribution with known mean and range prior to censoring. Statistical functions related to the uncensored Epanechnikov distribution are also provided by this package.

Enables simulation of water piping networks using 'EPANET'.
    The package provides functions from the 'EPANET' programmer's toolkit as R
    functions so that basic or customized simulations can be carried out from R.
    The package uses 'EPANET' version 2.2 from Open Water Analytics
    <https://github.com/OpenWaterAnalytics/EPANET/releases/tag/v2.2>.

Reads water network simulation data in 'Epanet' text-based
    '.inp' and '.rpt' formats into R. Also reads results from 'Epanet-msx'.
    Provides basic summary information and plots.  The README file has a 
    quick introduction. See <https://www.epa.gov/water-research/epanet>
    for more information on the Epanet software for modeling
    hydraulic and water quality behavior of water piping systems.

Exploratory principal component analysis for large-scale dataset, including sparse principal component analysis and sparse matrix approximation.

The top-performing ensemble-based Penalized Cox Regression (ePCR) framework developed during the DREAM 9.5 mCRPC Prostate Cancer Challenge <https://www.synapse.org/ProstateCancerChallenge> presented in Guinney J, Wang T, Laajala TD, et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/S1470-2045(16)30560-5> is provided here-in, together with the corresponding follow-up work. While initially aimed at modeling the most advanced stage of prostate cancer, metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC), the modeling framework has subsequently been extended to cover also the non-metastatic form of advanced prostate cancer (CRPC). Readily fitted ensemble-based model S4-objects are provided, and a simulated example dataset based on a real-life cohort is provided from the Turku University Hospital, to illustrate the use of the package. Functionality of the ePCR methodology relies on constructing ensembles of strata in patient cohorts and averaging over them, with each ensemble member consisting of a highly optimized penalized/regularized Cox regression model. Various cross-validation and other modeling schema are provided for constructing novel model objects.
