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
