Open Source

  • R code to evaluate HUM for three and four unordered categories, following Li, Fine and Pencina (2018) Statistical Theory and Related Fields. These files are now incorporated in an R package mcca available on CRAN and GitHub. May evaluate HUM for combined markers based on all sorts of learning methods. The package from GitHub allows Deep Learning.
  • R package HUM is now available on CRAN. May evaluate HUM for markers to differentiate large number (M>3) of categories.
  • R code to evaluate multi-category NRI and IDI, following Li, Jiang and Fine (2013) Biostatistics. Also incorporated in an R package mcca available on CRAN and GitHub.
  • R code to evaluate Polytomous Discrimination Index (PDI) for three and four classes, following Li, Feng, Fine, Pencina and Van Calster (2018) SMMR. Also incorporated in an R package mcca available on CRAN and GitHub.
  • R code for improvement screening, based on Yue and Li (2018) International Journal of Biostatistics.
  • R code to compute bootstrap confidence intervals and p-values for NRI and IDI. See Shao et al. (2015) Biomarkers.
  • R code for two stage multiple Change Point detection (TSMCP): example and scad penalty function following Li and Jin (2018) AOS.
  • ROC Matlab code: nonparametric and semiparametric ROC surface estimation. See Li and Zhou (2009) JSPI.
