Provides functions for fitting various penalized parametric and semi-parametric mixture cure models with different penalty functions, testing for a significant cure fraction, and testing for sufficient follow-up as described in Fu et al (2022)<doi:10.1002/sim.9513> and Archer et al (2024)<doi:10.1186/s13045-024-01553-6>. False discovery rate controlled variable selection is provided using model-X knock-offs.

A procedure that fits derivative curves based on a sequence of quotient differences.  In a hierarchical setting the package produces estimates of subject-specific and group-specific derivative curves.  In a non-hierarchical setting the package produces a single derivative curve.

Hard drive data: Class of data allowing the easy importation/manipulation of out of memory data sets. The data sets are located on disk but look like in-memory, the syntax for manipulation is similar to 'data.table'. Operations are performed "chunk-wise" behind the scene.

Determine the sample size requirement to achieve the target probability of correct classification (PCC) for studies employing high-dimensional features.  The package implements functions to 1) determine the asymptotic feasibility of the classification problem; 2) compute the upper bounds of the PCC for any linear classifier; 3) estimate the PCC of three design methods given design assumptions; 4) determine the sample size requirement to achieve the target PCC for three design methods.

Cross-validated linear discriminant calculations determine
  the optimum number of features. Test and training scores from
  successive cross-validation steps determine, via a principal
  components calculation, a low-dimensional global space onto which test
  scores are projected, in order to plot them. Further functions are
  included that are intended for didactic use. The  package implements,
  and extends, methods described in J.H. Maindonald and C.J. Burden (2005)

'HDF5' is a data model, library and file format for storing
    and managing large amounts of data. This package provides a nearly
    feature complete, object oriented  wrapper for the 'HDF5' API
    <https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/RM_H5Front.html> using R6 classes.
    Additionally, functionality is added so that 'HDF5' objects behave very
    similar to their corresponding R counterparts.
