MulTyLink (Multiple Type Linkages) is a C++ open source program, licensed under the GPL v3, to define linkages between terminals of the same type.Available at: http://pascal.iseg.utl.pt/ rbras/MulTyLink/
A collection of functions which (i) assess the quality of variable subsets as surrogates for a full data set, in either an exploratory data analysis or in the context of a multivariate linear model, and (ii) search for subsets which are optimal under various criteria.

Habitat fragmentation is a serious threat for the sustainability of species. Thus, the identification of effective linkages to connect valuable ecological units is an important issue in conservation biology. The design of effective linkages should take into account that areas which are adequately permeable for some species’ dispersal may act as obstructions for other species. The determination of minimum cost effective linkages is a generalization of both node-weighted Steiner tree and node-weighted Steiner forest problems. We compare the performance of different procedures for this problem using large real and simulated instances.
