Istituzione del Laboratorio di Radiomica presso il Dipartimento di Economia e Management


Con la seduta del Consiglio di Dipartimento di Economia e Management (DEM) dell’Università di Trento dell’11 maggio 2022 è stato istituito presso il DEM un laboratorio di radiomica. Il laboratorio si pone come obiettivo l’applicazione di tecniche avanzate di analisi dei dati in contesti applicativi di diagnostica medica. In particolare, si intende sviluppare ed applicare algoritmi di analisi statistica, di machine learning e di elaborazione e riconoscimento di immagini mediche per la diagnosi precoce di patologie tumorali. L’iniziativa è stata avviata dal prof. Giuseppe Espa (DEM, responsabile del Progetto), dal prof. Massimo Donelli (DICAM) e dalla dott.ssa Paola Feraco (APSS Trento).

The R package plot3logit has been released on CRAN


Version 1.0.0 of the R package plot3logit has been released on CRAN.

Package plot3logit is an implementation of the ternary plot for interpreting regression coefficients of trinomial regression models, as proposed in Santi, Dickson and Espa (2019) <DOI: 10.1080/00031305.2018.1442368>. Ternary plots are drawn using either ‘ggtern’ package (based on ‘ggplot2’) or ‘Ternary’ package (based on standard graphics).

The package can be cited as it follows:
