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>.
