Implements the 'RUV' (Remove Unwanted Variation) algorithms.  These algorithms attempt to adjust for systematic errors of unknown origin in high-dimensional data.  The algorithms were originally developed for use with genomic data, especially microarray data, but may be useful with other types of high-dimensional data as well.  These algorithms were proposed in Gagnon-Bartsch and Speed (2012) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkz433>, Gagnon-Bartsch, Jacob and Speed (2013), and Molania, et. al. (2019) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkz433>.  The algorithms require the user to specify a set of negative control variables, as described in the references.  The algorithms included in this package are 'RUV-2', 'RUV-4', 'RUV-inv', 'RUV-rinv', 'RUV-I', and RUV-III', along with various supporting algorithms.

Contains miscellaneous functions useful in biostatistics, mostly univariate and multivariate testing procedures with a special emphasis on permutation tests. Many functions intend to simplify user's life by shortening existing procedures or by implementing plotting functions that can be used with as many methods from different packages as possible.

A collection of functions for computing "r-values" from various
    kinds of user input such as MCMC output or a list of effect size estimates
    and associated standard errors. Given a large collection of measurement units,
    the r-value, r, of a particular unit is a reported percentile that may be
    interpreted as the smallest percentile at which the unit should be placed in the
    top r-fraction of units.

Operations on triangular meshes based on 'VCGLIB'. This package
    integrates nicely with the R-package 'rgl' to render the meshes processed by
    'Rvcg'. The Visualization and Computer Graphics Library (VCG for short) is
    an open source portable C++ templated library for manipulation, processing
    and displaying with OpenGL of triangle and tetrahedral meshes. The library,
    composed by more than 100k lines of code, is released under the GPL license,
    and it is the base of most of the software tools of the Visual Computing Lab of
    the Italian National Research Council Institute ISTI <https://vcg.isti.cnr.it/>,
    like 'metro' and 'MeshLab'. The 'VCGLIB' source is pulled from trunk
    <https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/vcglib> and patched to work with options
    determined by the configure script as well as to work with the header files
    included by 'RcppEigen'.
