In andrewzm/WRSEL: Weighted Rank Squared Error Loss

WRSEL

Function for computing estimates under a Weighted Rank Squared Error Loss function, with the option of parallelising intensive computations. Please see the accompanying notebook http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/andrewzm/WRSEL/blob/master/ipython/WRSEL_Example_1.ipynb and (after having read the notebook!) the associated RShine application at https://andrewzm.shinyapps.io/WRSEL_example/ for an explanation of WRSEL and an interactive toy study.

This package is still under development and is not available on CRAN. To install you will need to have devtools installed and loaded. Then type in install_github('andrewzm/WRSEL'). Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries.
