Four ensemble-based methods (SMOTEBoost, RUSBoost, UnderBagging, and SMOTEBagging) for class imbalance problem are implemented for binary classification. Such methods adopt ensemble methods and data re-sampling techniques to improve model performance in presence of class imbalance problem. One special feature offers the possibility to choose multiple supervised learning algorithms to build weak learners within ensemble models. References: Nitesh V.

EB-PRS is a novel method that leverages information for effect sizes across all the markers to improve the prediction accuracy.  No parameter tuning is needed in the method, and no external information is needed. This R-package provides the calculation of polygenic risk scores from the given training summary statistics and testing data. We can use EB-PRS to extract main information, estimate Empirical Bayes parameters, derive polygenic risk scores for  each individual in testing data, and evaluate the PRS according to AUC and predictive r2. See Song et al. (2020) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007565> for a detailed presentation of the method.

Empirical Bayes ranking applicable to parallel-estimation settings where the estimated parameters are asymptotically unbiased and normal, with known standard errors.  A mixture normal prior for each parameter is estimated using Empirical Bayes methods, subsequentially ranks for each parameter are simulated from the resulting joint posterior over all parameters (The marginal posterior densities for each parameter are assumed independent). Finally, experiments are ordered by expected posterior rank, although computations minimizing other plausible rank-loss functions are also given.
