The benchmarking module for the Iterative Optimization Heuristics
    Profiler ('IOHprofiler'). This module provides benchmarking in the 'IOHprofiler'
    format, which can be visualized using the 'IOHanalyzer' module.

Addresses the 'log of zero' by developing a new family of 
    estimators called iterated Ordinary Least Squares. 
    This family nests standard approaches such as log-linear and 
    Poisson regressions, offers several computational advantages, 
    and corresponds to the correct way to perform the popular 
    log(Y + 1) transformation. For more details about how to use it, 
    see the notebook at: <https://www.davidbenatia.com/>.

Method for the calculation of copy numbers and calling of copy number alterations. The algorithm uses coverage data from amplicon sequencing of a sample cohort as input. The method includes significance assessment, correction for multiple testing and does not depend on normal DNA controls. Budczies (2016 Mar 15) <doi:10.18632/oncotarget.7451>.

Network functionalities specialized for data generated from input-output tables.

Provides item exclusion procedure, which is a formal method to 
    test 'Indifference Of iNdicator' (ION). When a latent personality 
    trait-outcome association is assumed, then the association strength 
    should not depend on which subset of indicators (i.e. items) has been 
    chosen to reflect the trait. Personality traits are  often measured 
    (reflected) by  a sum-score of a certain set of indicators. 
    Item exclusion procedure randomly excludes items from a sum-score and 
    tests, whether the sum-score - outcome correlation changes. ION has been 
    achieved, when any item can be excluded from the sum-score without the 
    sum-score - outcome correlation substantially changing . For more details,
