Implementation of the mid-n algorithms presented in 
             Wellek S (2015) <DOI:10.1111/stan.12063> Statistica Neerlandica 69, 358-373 for exact 
             sample size calculation for superiority trials with binary outcome.

A guidance system for analysis with missing data. It incorporates expert, up-to-date methodology to help researchers choose the most appropriate analysis approach when some data are missing. You provide the available data and the assumed causal structure, including the likely causes of missing data. 'midoc' will advise which analysis approaches can be used, and how best to perform them. 'midoc' follows the framework for the treatment and reporting of missing data in observational studies (TARMOS). Lee et al (2021). <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2021.01.008>.

Apply tests of multiple comparisons based
    on studentized 'midrange' and 'range' distributions. 
    The tests are: Tukey Midrange ('TM' test),
    Student-Newman-Keuls Midrange ('SNKM' test), 
    Means Grouping Midrange ('MGM' test) and 
    Means Grouping Range ('MGR' test). The first two tests were published by 
    Batista and Ferreira (2020) <doi:10.1590/1413-7054202044008020>. 
    The last two are being published.

Evolutionary black box optimization algorithms building on the
  'bbotk' package. 'miesmuschel' offers both ready-to-use optimization
  algorithms, as well as their fundamental building blocks that can be used to
  manually construct specialized optimization loops. The Mixed Integer Evolution
  Strategies as described by Li et al. (2013) <doi:10.1162/EVCO_a_00059> can be
  implemented, as well as the multi-objective optimization algorithms NSGA-II
  by Deb, Pratap, Agarwal, and Meyarivan (2002) <doi:10.1109/4235.996017>.

Impute the covariance matrix of incomplete data so that factor 
  analysis can be performed. Imputations are made using multiple imputation 
  by Multivariate Imputation with Chained Equations (MICE) and combined with 
  Rubin's rules. Parametric Fieller confidence intervals and nonparametric
  bootstrap confidence intervals can be obtained for the variance explained by 
  different numbers of principal components. The method is described in 
  Nassiri et al. (2018) <doi:10.3758/s13428-017-1013-4>.
