Distance Based Ranking Models (rankdist)
Implements distance based probability models for ranking data. The supported distance metrics include Kendall distance and Weighted Kendall distance. Mixture models are also supported.
Random Projection Ensemble Classification (RPEnsemble)
Implements the methodology of ‘Cannings, T. I. and Samworth, R. J. (2015) Random projection ensemble classification. http://…/1504.04595′. The random projection ensemble classifier is a very general method for classification of high-dimensional data, based on careful combination of the results of applying an arbitrary base classifier to random projections of the feature vectors into a lower-dimensional space. The random projections are divided into non-overlapping blocks, and within each block the projection yielding the smallest estimate of the test error is selected. The random projection ensemble classifier then aggregates the results of applying the base classifier on the selected projections, with a data-driven voting threshold to determine the final assignment.

Fast Algorithms to Bootstrap ROC Curves (fbroc)
Implements a very fast C++ algorithm to quickly bootstrap ROC Curves and derived performance metrics (e.g. AUC). You can also plot the results and calculate confidence intervals. Currently the calculation of 100000 bootstrap replicates for 500 observations takes about one second.
