R code for an interface to MINERVA API and helper functions

This repository contains the code for ML analyses performed in Chapter 5 of my PhD thesis "Interpretable machine learning on omics data for the study of UPDRS III prognosis". The project consists on predicting the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale Part III (UPDRS III) motor scores (mild/severe when classification) from whole blood transcriptomics and blood plasma metabolomics using measurements from the baseline clinical visit, and temporal or dynamic features engineered from a short temporal series of 4 and 3 timepoints, respectively, from the PPMI cohort and the LuxPARK cohort, aiming at identifying molecular and higher-level functional fingerprints linked specifically to the motor symptoms in PD.
