Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA)
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperialist_competitive_algorithm>
is a computational method that is used to solve optimization
problems of different types and it is the mathematical model
and the computer simulation of human social evolution.
The package provides a minimum value for the cost function
and the best value for the optimization variables by
Imperialist Competitive Algorithm.
Users can easily define their own objective function
depending on the problem at hand.
This version has been successfully applied to solve
optimization problems, for continuous functions.

In-depth Characterization and Analysis of Mutational Signatures
('ICAMS')
Steve Rozen, Nanhai Jiang, Arnoud Boot, Mo Liu
Analysis and visualization of experimentally elucidated mutational
signatures -- the kind of analysis and visualization in Boot et al.,
"In-depth characterization of the cisplatin mutational signature in
human cell lines and in esophageal and liver tumors", Genome Research 2018,
<doi:10.1101/gr.230219.117>. 'ICAMS' stands for In-depth Characterization
and Analysis of Mutational Signatures. 'ICAMS' has functions to read in
variant call files (VCFs) and to collate the corresponding catalogs of
mutational spectra and to analyze and plot catalogs of mutational spectra
and signatures. Handles both "counts-based" and "density-based" catalogs
of mutational spectra or signatures.
