Analyze data from next-generation sequencing experiments on genomic samples. 'CLONETv2' offers a set of functions to compute allele specific copy number and clonality from segmented data and SNPs position pileup. The package has also calculated the clonality of single nucleotide variants given read counts at mutated positions. The package has been developed at the laboratory of Computational and Functional Oncology, Department of CIBIO, University of Trento (Italy), under the supervision of prof Francesca Demichelis.

Composite likelihood parameter estimate and asymptotic covariance matrix are calculated for the spatial ordinal data with replications, where spatial ordinal response with covariate and both spatial exponential covariance within subject and independent and identically distributed measurement error.  Parameter estimation can be performed by either solving the gradient function or maximizing composite log-likelihood. Parametric bootstrapping is used to estimate the Godambe information matrix and hence the asymptotic standard error and covariance matrix with parallel processing option. Moreover, the proposed surrogate residual, which extends the results of Liu and Zhang (2017) <doi: 10.1080/01621459.2017.1292915>, can act as a useful tool for model diagnostics.

Calculate the distance between single-arm observational studies using covariate information to remove heterogeneity in Network Meta-Analysis (NMA) of randomized clinical trials.
