Abstract: A package for implementing isotonic regression to ensure monotonicity in the y-variable when the x-variable is ordered. Isotonic regression analysis fits a step function, constrained to be either monotonically non-decreasing or monotonically non-increasing. It uses It uses the adjacent violators algorithm to fit the step function.
