Tool for easy and efficient discretization of continuous and categorical data. 
    The package calculates the most optimal binning of a given explanatory variable with respect to a 
    user-specified target variable. The purpose is to assign a unique Weight-of-Evidence value 
    to each of the calculated binpoints in order to recode the original variable. 
    The package allows users to impose certain restrictions on the functional form on the resulting 
    binning while maximizing the overall information value in the original data. 
    The package is well suited for logistic scoring models where input variables may be subject to 
    restrictions such as linearity by e.g. regulatory authorities. An excellent source describing in 
    detail the development of scorecards, and the role of Weight-of-Evidence coding in credit scoring 
    is (Siddiqi 2006, ISBN: 978–0-471–75451–0). The package utilizes the discrete nature of decision trees and 
    Isotonic Regression to accommodate the trade-off between flexible functional forms and maximum 
    information value.

Fast algorithms for fitting Bayesian variable selection
    models and computing Bayes factors, in which the outcome (or
    response variable) is modeled using a linear regression or a
    logistic regression. The algorithms are based on the variational
    approximations described in "Scalable variational inference for
    Bayesian variable selection in regression, and its accuracy in
    genetic association studies" (P. Carbonetto & M. Stephens, 2012,
    <DOI:10.1214/12-BA703>). This software has been applied to large
    data sets with over a million variables and thousands of samples.

Performs clustering of quantitative variables,
    assuming that clusters lie in low-dimensional subspaces. Segmentation of
    variables, number of clusters and their dimensions are selected based on
    BIC. Candidate models are identified based on many runs of K-means
    algorithm with different random initializations of cluster centers.
