Description: An implementation of several Hierarchical Ensemble Methods (HEMs) for Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs). 'HEMDAG' package: 1) reconciles flat predictions with the topology of the ontology; 2) can enhance the predictions of virtually any flat learning methods by taking into account the hierarchical relationships between ontology classes; 3) provides biologically meaningful predictions that always obey the true-path-rule, the biological and logical rule that governs the internal coherence of biomedical ontologies; 4) is specifically designed for exploiting the hierarchical relationships of DAG-structured taxonomies, such as the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) or the Gene Ontology (GO), but can be safely applied to tree-structured taxonomies as well (as FunCat), since trees are DAGs; 5) scales nicely both in terms of the complexity of the taxonomy and in the cardinality of the examples; 6) provides several utility functions to process and analyze graphs; 7) provides several performance metrics to evaluate HEMs algorithms.

Title: MLE and Bayesian Estimation of Heteroskedastic Ordered Probit
Depends: R (>= 3.4.0), R2jags, splines, stats
Description: Provides functions for maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation of the Heteroskedastic Ordered Probit (HETOP) model, using methods described in Lockwood, Castellano and Shear (2018) <doi:10.3102/1076998618795124> and Reardon, Shear, Castellano and Ho (2017) <doi:10.3102/1076998616666279>.  It also provides a general function to compute the triple-goal estimators of Shen and Louis (1998) <doi:10.1111/1467-9868.00135>.
