Projects
Sometimes I code and I like it and sometimes I try to publish it too…
interactionHR
interactionHR is an R package to estimate hazard ratios
of a variable change when interacting with another variable.
Simple interaction Cox models and restricted cubic spline are implemented.
Confidence interval can be calculated via delta method or bootstrap.

PTD provides a series of tools that can help bioinformaticians,
clinicians and biostatisticians to design, analyze and finalize
custom gene panels for cancer genomics clinical trials.
LowMACA
LowMACA is a method able to assess specific characteristics of rarely
mutated genes that show patterns of positive selection by aggregating
mutational patterns of several genes that have a
high level of sequence similarity
