biotmle 1.4.0 (BioC 3.7): - An updated release of this package for Bioconductor 3.7, released April 2018. - This release primarily implements minor changes, including the use of colors in the plots produced by the visualization methods. --- biotmle 1.3.0 (BioC 3.6): - An updated release of this package for Bioconductor 3.6, released in October 2017. - An option for applying this methodology to next-generation sequencing data has been added, based on the popular "voom" transform of the limma R package. - Facilities for parallelized computation have been completely re-implemented: current routines favor a combination of future and BiocParallel. - The method for estimating biomarkers based on an observed outcome has been removed (temporarily). Inference based on this method requires re-thinking. - A full suite of unit tests have been added, covering most package functions. --- biotmle 1.0.0 (BioC 3.5): - The first release of this package was made as part of Bioconductor 3.5, in 2016. --- The biotmle R package provides routines for statistical methodology first described in the technical manuscript [1] and the software paper [2]: 1.
