Title: Robust Group Variable Screening Based on Maximum Lq-Likelihood
Description: Produces a group screening procedure that is based on maximum Lq-likelihood estimation, to simultaneously account for the group structure and data contamination in variable screening. The methods are described in Li, Y., Li, R., Qin, Y., Lin, C., & Yang, Y. (2021) Robust Group Variable Screening Based on Maximum Lq-likelihood Estimation. Statistics in Medicine, 40:6818-6834.<doi:10.1002/sim.9212>.

Description: A series of functions to estimate the detection windows of a luminescence reader based on the filters and the photomultiplier (PMT) selected. These functions also allow to simulate a luminescence experiment based on the thermoluminesce (TL) or the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) properties of a material.

Description: The LumiWCluster package implements the proposed weighted model based clustering for Illumina Methylation BeadArray (Kuan et al., 2010). There are two parts to this package. The first part provides function to normalize the methylation data from the Illumina GoldenGate platform. We will include the normalization for Illumina Infinium platform in future. The second part provides function to identify subgroups with distinct methylation profiles in Illumina BeadArray. It works for both Infinium and GoldenGate platform, as well as any other platforms including gene expression arrays. The core of the algorithm is based on the paper by Wang and Zhu (2008), which automatically selects important CpGs/probes. LumiWCluster incorporates the detection p-values (a quality measure of probe performance reported by Illumina BeadStudio or GenomeStudio) systematically in the clustering algorithm and avoids arbitrary cutoff for excluding unreliable probes. Further details and motivation can be found in Kuan et al. (2010).
