  <dc:title>Covariance-Aware Inference of Cross-Omic Effect Trajectories</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package OmicsBraid version 0.2.3</dc:title>
  <dc:description>A research-oriented statistical framework for comparing standardized
    biological effects across matched omics layers. It estimates layer-specific
    standardized effects, accounts for cross-omic dependence using matched-subject
    bootstrap correlations, tests multivariate omnibus evidence, synthesizes
    consensus effects with generalized least squares, quantifies cross-omic
    heterogeneity, performs practical-equivalence testing, fits covariance-aware
    ordered GLS effect trajectories, classifies hierarchical cross-layer effect
    patterns with separate confirmatory and suggestive states, supports analytic
    and subject-bootstrap confidence intervals for layer and consensus effects,
    supports empirical matched-subject permutation and centered-bootstrap
    calibration of omnibus and heterogeneity tests for non-Gaussian settings,
    and creates evidence-forest and effect-braid visualizations. The package is
    designed for analysis-ready bulk multi-omics data or externally estimated
    summary statistics. It does not perform raw sequencing or mass-spectrometry
    preprocessing. Methodological components draw on standardized mean-difference 
    estimation described by Hedges (1981) &lt;doi:10.3102/10769986006002107&gt;,
    bootstrap resampling described by Efron (1979)
    &lt;doi:10.1214/aos/1176344552&gt;, and two one-sided equivalence testing
    described by Schuirmann (1987) &lt;doi:10.1007/BF01068419&gt;.</dc:description>
