  <dc:title>Multicore Multivariable Isotonic Regression</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package McMiso version 0.2.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides functions for isotonic regression and classification
    when there are multiple independent variables. The functions solve the
    optimization problem using a projective Bayes approach with recursive
    sequential update algorithms, and are useful for situations with a
    relatively large number of covariates. Supports binary outcomes via a
    Beta-Binomial conjugate model ('miso', 'PBclassifier') and continuous
    outcomes via a Normal-Inverse-Chi-Squared conjugate model ('misoN').
    Parallel computing wrappers ('mcmiso', 'mcPBclassifier', 'mcmisoN') are
    provided that run the down-up and up-down algorithms simultaneously and
    return whichever finishes first. The estimation method follows the
    projective Bayes solution described in Cheung and Diaz (2023)
