Provides a mechanism for chaining commands with a new
    forward-pipe operator, %>%. This operator will forward a value, or the
    result of an expression, into the next function call/expression.
    There is flexible support for the type of right-hand side expressions.
    For more information, see package vignette.  To quote Rene Magritte,
    "Ceci n'est pas un pipe."

Provides a comprehensive graphical user interface for analysis of Affymetrix, Agilent, Illumina, Nimblegen and other microarray data. It can perform miscellaneous tasks such as gene set enrichment and test analyses, identifying gene symbols and building co-expression network. It can also estimate sample size for atleast two-fold expression change. The current version is its slenderized form for compatable and flexible implementation.

A generalised workflow for generation of subject weights to be 
    used in Matching-Adjusted Indirect Comparison (MAIC) per Signorovitch et 
    al. (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jval.2012.05.004>, Signorovitch et al (2010) 
    <doi:10.2165/11538370-000000000-00000>. In MAIC, unbiased 
    comparison between outcomes of two trials is facilitated by weighting the
    subject-level outcomes of one trial with weights derived such that the 
    weighted aggregate measures of the prognostic or effect modifying variables 
    are equal to those of the sample in the comparator trial. The functions and
    classes included in this package wrap and abstract the process demonstrated
    in the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Decision 
    Support Unit (NICE DSU)'s example (Phillippo et al, (2016) [see URL]),
    providing a repeatable and easily specifiable workflow for producing 
    multiple comparison variable sets against a variety of target studies, with
    preprocessing for a number of aggregate target forms (e.g. mean, median, 
    domain limits).

A collection of easy-to-implement tools for checking whether a MAIC can be conducted. An alternative way of calculating weights is also included. These methods are introduced in Glimm & Yau (2021) <arXiv:2108.01896>.
