Causal Effect Random Forest of Interaction Tress
c(
person(given = "Justin",family = "Thorp",email = "jjtthorp@gmail.com",role = c("aut","cre")),
person(given = "Luo",family = "Li",role = "aut"),
person(given = "Juanjuan", family = "Fan",role = "aut"))
Fits a Causal Effect Random Forest of Interaction Tress (CERFIT) which is a modification of the Random Forest algorithm where each split is chosen to maximize subgroup treatment heterogeneity. Doing this allows it to estimate the individualized treatment effect for each observation in either randomized controlled trial (RCT) or observational data. For more information see X. Su, A. T. Peña, L. Liu, and R. A. Levine (2018) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1709.04862>.

Colony Formation Assay: Taking into Account Cellular Cooperation
c(
person("Daniel", "Samaga",
email = "daniel.samaga@helmholtz-muenchen.de",
role = c("cre","aut")),
person("Nikko", "Brix",
role = "aut"),
person("Kirsten", "Lauber",

Cellular cooperation compromises the plating efficiency-based
analysis of clonogenic survival data. This tool provides functions that
enable a robust analysis of colony formation assay (CFA) data in presence
or absence of cellular cooperation.
The implemented method has been described
in Brix et al. (2020). (Brix, N., Samaga, D., Hennel, R. et al.
"The clonogenic assay: robustness of plating efficiency-based analysis is
strongly compromised by cellular cooperation." Radiat Oncol 15, 248 (2020).
<doi:10.1186/s13014-020-01697-y>)
Power regression for parameter estimation, calculation of survival
fractions, uncertainty analysis and plotting functions are provided.
