simulator - An Engine for Running Simulations

A framework for performing simulations such as those common in methodological statistics papers. The design principles of this package are described in greater depth in Bien, J. (2016) "The simulator: An Engine to Streamline Simulations," which is available at <arXiv:1607.00021>.

protoclust - Hierarchical Clustering with Prototypes

Performs minimax linkage hierarchical clustering. Every cluster has an associated prototype element that represents that cluster as described in Bien, J., and Tibshirani, R. (2011), "Hierarchical Clustering with Prototypes via Minimax Linkage," The Journal of the American Statistical Association, 106(495), 1075-1084.

hierNet - A Lasso for Hierarchical Interactions

Fits sparse interaction models for continuous and binary responses subject to the strong (or weak) hierarchy restriction that an interaction between two variables only be included if both (or at least one of) the variables is included as a main effect. For more details, see Bien, J., Taylor, J., Tibshirani, R., (2013) "A Lasso for Hierarchical Interactions." Annals of Statistics. 41(3). 1111-1141.

spcov - Sparse Estimation of a Covariance Matrix

Provides a covariance estimator for multivariate normal data that is sparse and positive definite. Implements the majorize-minimize algorithm described in Bien, J., and Tibshirani, R. (2011), "Sparse Estimation of a Covariance Matrix," Biometrika. 98(4). 807--820.
