Provides methods for reducing the number of features within a data set. See Bauer JO (2021) <doi:10.1145/3475827.3475832> and Bauer JO, Drabant B (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2021.104754> for more information on principal loading analysis.

In gene sequencing methods, the topological features of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks are 
    often used, such as ToppNet <https://toppgene.cchmc.org>. In this study, a candidate gene prioritization method
    was proposed for non-communicable diseases considering disease risks transferred between genes in weighted disease 
    PPI networks with weights for nodes and edges based on functional information.

Translates beliefs into prior information in the form of Beta and Gamma distributions. 
	It can be used for the generation of priors on the prevalence of disease and 
	the sensitivity/specificity of diagnostic tests and any other binomial experiment.

This uses a mixed integer mathematical programming (MIP)
        approach for building and solving multi-action planning problems, 
        where the goal is to find an optimal combination of management actions that
        abate threats, in an efficient way while accounting for spatial aspects. 
        Thus, optimizing the connectivity and conservation effectiveness of 
        the prioritized units and of the deployed actions. The package is capable of 
        handling different commercial (gurobi, CPLEX) and non-commercial (symphony, CBC) MIP solvers. 
        Gurobi optimization solver can be installed using comprehensive instructions in 
        the 'gurobi' installation vignette of the prioritizr package (available in 
        <https://prioritizr.net/articles/gurobi_installation_guide.html>). Instead, 'CPLEX'
        optimization solver can be obtain from IBM CPLEX web page (available here 
        <https://www.ibm.com/es-es/products/ilog-cplex-optimization-studio>). Additionally, 
        the 'rcbc' R package (available at
    <https://github.com/dirkschumacher/rcbc>) can be used to obtain solutions
    using the CBC optimization software (<https://github.com/coin-or/Cbc>). Methods used in the 
        package refers to Salgado-Rojas et al. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2019.108901>,
