casebase - Fitting Flexible Smooth-in-Time Hazards and Risk Functions via Logistic and Multinomial Regression

Fit flexible and fully parametric hazard regression models to survival data with single event type or multiple competing causes via logistic and multinomial regression. Our formulation allows for arbitrary functional forms of time and its interactions with other predictors for time-dependent hazards and hazard ratios. From the fitted hazard model, we provide functions to readily calculate and plot cumulative incidence and survival curves for a given covariate profile. This approach accommodates any log-linear hazard function of prognostic time, treatment, and covariates, and readily allows for non-proportionality. We also provide a plot method for visualizing incidence density via population time plots. Based on the case-base sampling approach of Hanley and Miettinen (2009) <DOI:10.2202/1557-4679.1125>, Saarela and Arjas (2015) <DOI:10.1111/sjos.12125>, and Saarela (2015) <DOI:10.1007/s10985-015-9352-x>.

ggmix - Variable Selection in Linear Mixed Models for SNP Data

Fit penalized multivariable linear mixed models with a single random effect to control for population structure in genetic association studies. The goal is to simultaneously fit many genetic variants at the same time, in order to select markers that are independently associated with the response. Can also handle prior annotation information, for example, rare variants, in the form of variable weights. For more information, see the website below and the accompanying paper: Bhatnagar et al., "Simultaneous SNP selection and adjustment for population structure in high dimensional prediction models", 2020, <DOI:10.1371/journal.pgen.1008766>.
