The permax library consists of 8 functions, intended to facilitate
certain basic analyses of DNA array data, especially with regard to
comparing expression levels between two types of tissue.

An add-on to the 'party' package, with a faster implementation
of the partial-conditional permutation importance for random forests. The
standard permutation importance is implemented exactly the same as in
the 'party' package. The conditional permutation importance can be
computed faster, with an option to be backward compatible to the 'party'
implementation. The package is compatible with random forests fit using the
'party' and the 'randomForest' package. The methods are described in
Strobl et al. (2007) <doi:10.1186/1471-2105-8-25> and
Debeer and Strobl (2020).

Permutation test to compare variability within and distance between two groups
The permtest uses permutations in order to compare the variability within and distance between two groups within a set of microarray data.
