The primary purpose of prolong is to facilitate penalized modeling of high-dimensional longitudinal omics data with a longitduinal clinical outcome to obtain a sparse set of omics variables that co-vary with the outcome over time. prolong also provides functionality in both R and in a point-and-click GUI shiny app for plots that reveal the underlying correlation structure of the omics variables. For more information, visit the package website.
A preview of the shiny app that is being continuously updated is available at the following link: Shiny App
