Utility functions useful when programming and developing R packages.

Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) data
    by Rutledge et al. (2004) <doi:10.1093/nar/gnh177> in tidy format. The
    data comprises a six-point, ten-fold dilution series, repeated in five
    independent runs, for two different amplicons. In each run, each standard
    concentration is replicated four times. For the original raw data file see
    the Supplementary Data section:

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.
