Contains several functions for statistical data analysis; e.g. for sample size and power calculations, computation of confidence intervals and tests, and generation of similarity matrices.

Package solves multiple knapsack optimisation problem. 
    Given a set of items, each with volume and value, 
    it will allocate them to knapsacks of a given size in a way that
    value of top N knapsacks is as large as possible.

Similarity plots based on correlation and median absolute deviation (MAD); adjusting colors for heatmaps; aggregate technical replicates; calculate pairwise fold-changes and log fold-changes; compute one- and two-way ANOVA; simplified interface to package 'limma' (Ritchie et al. (2015), <doi:10.1093/nar/gkv007> ) for moderated t-test and one-way ANOVA; Hamming and Levenshtein (edit) distance of strings as well as optimal alignment scores for global (Needleman-Wunsch) and local (Smith-Waterman) alignments with constant gap penalties (Merkl and Waack (2009), ISBN:978-3-527-32594-8).
