Description: Boosting-supported network analysis for high-dimensional
        omics data, implementing a three-step dimension reduction
        technique. A filter combined with the topological overlap
        measure first identifies the essential edges of the feature
        network, sparse hierarchical clustering then groups the
        selected features into modules, and each module is finally
        summarised by its first principal components. Subsequent
        analyses are carried out on these low-dimensional module
        signals instead of the original data, which makes the method
        well suited to epigenetics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and
        other omics studies. The method is described in Schlosser et
        al. (2021) <doi:10.1109/TCBB.2020.2983010>.
