Key OutputCardiovascular health score generationTypeModelDescriptionSOP and script for generating the ideal cardiovascular health score in adults, relying on variables harmonised according to the LongITools protocol.AccessLink coming soonContactBarbara Heude, Inserm, email:barbara.heude@inserm.fr
Key Outputfake: Flexible Data Simulation Using the Multivariate Normal DistributionTypeModelDescriptionThe R package fake (Flexible Data Simulation Using the Multivariate Normal Distribution) can be used to generate artificial data conditionally on pre-specified (simulated or user-defined) relationships between the variables and/or observations. Each observation is drawn from a multivariate Normal distribution where the mean vector and covariance matrix reflect the desired relationships. Outputs can be used to evaluate the performances of variable selection, graphical modelling, or clustering approaches by comparing the true and estimated structures.AccessLink coming soonContactProfessor Marc Chadeau-Hyam, Imperial College London, email: m.chadeau@imperial.ac.uk

Key OutputMsReg R scripTypeSoftwareDescriptionA DataShield compliant R script for consistent estimation of matched survey/cohort data.AccessEmail contactContactAssociate Professor Andrea Piano Mortari, Tor Vergata University of Rome, email:andrea.pianomortari@uniroma2.eu
Key OutputMUVR2TypeMethodDescriptionMultivariate methods with unbiased variable selection in R. A machine learning toolbox to associate predictor variables (e.g. Omics) to target variables (e.g. exposures or health outcomes). Performs PLS, random forest and elastic net modelling using nested cross-validation to minimise overfitting and false discovery. Performs unbiased selections of predictor variables-of-interest by incorporating variable selection procedures within the nested cross-validation.Access

Key OutputOpenly available scripts from meta-analysesTypeMethodDescriptionFor some of the published meta-analyses, the analysis scripts have been made publicly available. These scripts can be used by other researchers for similar analyses.AccessLocations, often a GitHub page or a supplement to the manuscript, are detailed in the published papers. Visit the Publications page on this website to find the meta-analyses.ContactDr Janine Felix, Erasmus MC, email:j.felix@erasmusmc.nl
Key OutputStability Selection and Consensus Clustering in R: The R Package sharpTypeModelDescriptionThe R package sharp (Stability-enHanced Approaches using Resampling Procedures) provides an integrated framework for stability-enhanced variable selection, graphical modelling and clustering. In stability selection, a feature selection algorithm is combined with a resampling technique to estimate feature selection probabilities. The package offers flexibility in the modelling, includes diagnostic and visualisation tools, and allows for parallelisation.Access
