We develop the entire solution paths for ROC-SVM presented by Rakotomamonjy. The ROC-SVM solution path algorithm greatly facilitates the tuning procedure for regularization parameter, lambda in ROC-SVM by avoiding grid search algorithm which may be computationally too intensive. For more information on the ROC-SVM, see the report in the ROC Analysis in AI workshop(ROCAI-2004) : Hernàndez-Orallo, José, et al. (2004) <doi:10.1145/1046456.1046489>.

Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC)-guided survival trees and ensemble algorithms are implemented, providing a unified framework for tree-structured analysis with censored survival outcomes. A time-invariant partition scheme on the survivor population was considered to incorporate time-dependent covariates. Motivated by ideas of randomized tests, generalized time-dependent ROC curves were used to evaluate the performance of survival trees and establish the optimality of the target hazard/survival function. The optimality of the target hazard function motivates us to use a weighted average of the time-dependent area under the curve (AUC) on a set of time points to evaluate the prediction performance of survival trees and to guide splitting and pruning. A detailed description of the implemented methods can be found in Sun et al. (2019) <arXiv:1809.05627>.

An implementation of R's DBI interface using ODBC package as a
    back-end. This allows R to connect to any DBMS that has a ODBC driver.

A collection of functions for numerical construction of optimal discriminating designs. At the current moment T-optimal designs (which maximize the lower bound for the power of F-test for regression model discrimination), KL-optimal designs (for lognormal errors) and their robust analogues can be calculated with the package.

Show physics, math and engineering students how an ODE solver
    is made and how effective R classes can be for the construction of
    the equations that describe natural phenomena. Inspiration for this work 
    comes from the book on "Computer Simulations in Physics" 
    by Harvey Gould, Jan Tobochnik, and Wolfgang Christian.
