Overview

About

Maintained by Mu Zhu1 releasesCRAN page ↗

PGA is an ensemble algorithm similar in spirit to AdaBoost and random forest. It can ``boost up'' the performance of ``bad'' selection criteria such as AIC and GCV. (Technometrics 48, 491-502; The American Statistician 62, 97-109, Sec 4.3)

Install

BioconductorR (source archive)

BiocManager::install("pga")

Installs the current Bioconductor release. Requires the BiocManager package.

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/pga/pga_0.1-1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "pga_0.1-1.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1-1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
