Penalized orthogonal-components regression (POCRE) is a supervised dimension reduction method for high-dimensional data. It sequentially constructs orthogonal components (with selected features) which are maximally correlated to the response residuals. POCRE can also construct common components for multiple responses and thus build up latent-variable models.

Provides functions to implement and simulate the partial order continual reassessment method (PO-CRM) of Wages, Conaway and O'Quigley (2011) <doi:10.1177/1740774511408748> for use in Phase I trials of combinations of agents. Provides a function for generating a set of initial guesses (skeleton) for the toxicity probabilities at each combination that correspond to the set of possible orderings of the toxicity probabilities specified by the user.

This tool computes the probability of detection (POD) curve and the limit of detection (LOD), i.e. the number of copies of the target DNA sequence required to ensure a 95 % probability of detection (LOD95). Other quantiles of the LOD can be specified.
    This is a reimplementation of the mathematical-statistical modelling of the validation of qualitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods within a single laboratory as provided by the commercial tool 'PROLab' <http://quodata.de/>. The modelling itself has been described by Uhlig et al. (2015) <doi:10.1007/s00769-015-1112-9>.

Set of functions that implement the PoDBAY method, described in the publication 'A method to estimate probability of disease and vaccine efficacy from clinical trial immunogenicity data' by Julie Dudasova, Regina Laube, Chandni Valiathan, Matthew C. Wiener, Ferdous Gheyas, Pavel Fiser, Justina Ivanauskaite, Frank Liu and Jeffrey R. Sachs (NPJ Vaccines, 2021), <doi:10.1038/s41541-021-00377-6>.

Village potential statistics (PODES) collects various information on village potential and challenges faced by villages in Indonesia. Information related to village potential includes economy, security, health, employment, communication and information, sports, entertainment, development, community empowerment, education, socio-culture, transportation in the village. Information related to challenges includes natural disasters, public health, environmental pollution, social problems and security disturbances that occur in the village.
