This package supplies several robust tests for
case-control genetic association studies. The tests contained
in this package are: allelic based test, Cochran-Armitage trend
test, maximin efficiency robust test, MAX3 test and genetic
model selection test. For each test, the corresponding R code
reports the test statistics and the associated p-value.

Routines for Solving Rate-Distortion Problems
An implementation of routines for solving rate-distortion problems.
Rate-distortion theory is a field within information theory that
examines optimal lossy compression. That is, given that some
information must be lost, how can a communication channel be designed
that minimizes the cost of communication error? Rate-distortion
theory is concerned with the optimal  (minimal cost) solution to such
tradeoffs. An important tool for solving rate-distortion problems is
the Blahut algorithm, developed by Richard Blahut and described in:

Blahut, R. E. (1972). Computation of channel capacity and
rate-distortion functions. IEEE Transactions on Information Theory,
IT-18(4), 460-473.

This package implements the basic Blahut algorithm, and additionally contains a number of `helper' functions, including a routine for searching for an information channel that minimizes cost subject to a constraint on information rate.

Reduces items in a rating scale by a new procedure of reducing items in a rating scale.

Describes a new procedure of reducing items in a rating scale called Rating Scale Reduction (RSR). The new stop criterion in RSR procedure is added (stop global max).
