title: 'hetNSC: Heteroscedastic Nearest Shrunken Centroid Classification'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Nearest shrunken centroid (NSC) classifiers for high-dimensional, low-sample-size
  data such as gene expression. Implements the original homoscedastic NSC with soft
  thresholding (Prediction Analysis of Microarrays; Tibshirani et al. 2002 <https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.082099299>),
  its hard- and order-thresholding versions (Sahtout, Wang and Ghimire 2024 <https://doi.org/10.1080/03610918.2022.2047201>),
  and the heteroscedastic extension of Sahtout and Wang that uses class-specific variances
  in both the test statistic and the discriminant function (methods STh3, HTh3 and
  OTh3). The thresholding parameter is selected by a refined ("deep") cross-validation
  search. Also provides the simulation design, per-class performance metrics and the
  relative-heterogeneity diagnostic used in the paper.
