An implementation of intervention effect estimation for DAGs (directed acyclic graphs) learned from binary or continuous data. First, parameters are estimated or sampled for the DAG and then interventions on each node (variable) are propagated through the network (do-calculus). Both exact computation (for continuous data or for binary data up to around 20 variables) and Monte Carlo schemes (for larger binary networks) are implemented.

Estimate a suite of normalizing transformations, including 
    a new adaptation of a technique based on ranks which can guarantee 
    normally distributed transformed data if there are no ties: ordered 
    quantile normalization (ORQ). ORQ normalization combines a rank-mapping
    approach with a shifted logit approximation that allows
    the transformation to work on data outside the original domain. It is 
    also able to handle new data within the original domain via linear 
    interpolation. The package is built to estimate the best normalizing 
    transformation for a vector consistently and accurately. It implements 
    the Box-Cox transformation, the Yeo-Johnson transformation, three types 
    of Lambert WxF transformations, and the ordered quantile normalization 
    transformation. It estimates the normalization efficacy of other
    commonly used transformations, and it allows users to specify 
    custom transformations or normalization statistics. Finally, functionality
    can be integrated into a machine learning workflow via recipes.

Decision tree algorithm with a major feature added. Allows for users to define an ordering on the partitioning process.

The bestridge package is designed to provide a one-stand service for users to successfully carry out best ridge regression in various complex situations via the primal dual active set algorithm proposed by Wen, C., Zhang, A., Quan, S. and Wang, X. (2020) <doi:10.18637/jss.v094.i04>. This package allows users to perform the regression, classification, count regression and censored regression for (ultra) high dimensional data, and it also supports advanced usages like group variable selection and nuisance variable selection.
