This is a satire statistical R package based on the counting-out rhyme “Pito pito gorgorito” (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pito%2C_pito%2C_gorgorito), which has countless adaptations in all languages and is used when a random choice is to be made.
The PITO2 package performs a data independent variable selection (DIVS, see also this test), based purely on random chance.
You definitely shouldn’t install nor use this package, but if you choose to, do this:
devtools::install_github("RogerGinBer/PITO2")This is a basic example which shows you how to (incorrectly) solve a common problem:
library(PITO2)
metabolites <- paste("Metabolite", 1:100)
pitopito(metabolites, fdr = 0.05) #5% chance that any given metabolite is selected
#> [1] "Metabolite 9" "Metabolite 18" "Metabolite 28" "Metabolite 50"
#> [5] "Metabolite 51" "Metabolite 59" "Metabolite 100"
