New Machine Learning Packages in R

Rahul Nayak — Fri, 27 Mar 2020 12:11:21 -0500

Machine Learning

autokeras v1.0.1: Implements an interface to AutoKeras, an open source software library for automated machine learning. See README for an example.

MTPS v0.1.9: Implements functions to predict simultaneous multiple outcomes based on revised stacking algorithms as described in Xing et al. (2019). See the vignette to get started.

quanteda.textmodels v0.9.1: Implements methods for scaling models and classifiers based on sparse matrix objects representing textual data. It includes implementations of the Laver et al. (2003) wordscores model, the Perry & Benoit’s (2017) class affinity scaling model, and the Slapin & Proksch (2008) wordfish model. See the vignette to get started.

SeqDetect v1.0.7: Implements the automaton model found in Krleža, Vrdoljak & Brčić (2019) to detect and process sequences. See the vignette for examples and theory.

studyStrap v1.0.0: Implements multi-Study Learning algorithms such as Merging, Study-Specific Ensembling (Trained-on-Observed-Studies Ensemble), the Study Strap, and the Covariate-Matched Study Strap. and offers over 20 similarity measures. See Kishida, et al. (2019) for background and the vignette for how to use the package.

QuasR: Quantification and annotation of short reads in R

Neel — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 07:44:05 -0500

The QuasR package (short for Quantify and annotate short reads in R) integrates the functionality of several R packages (such as IRanges (Lawrence et al. 2013) and Rsamtools) and external software (e.g. bowtie, through the Rbowtie package, and HISAT2, through the Rhisat2 package). The package aims to cover the whole analysis workflow of typical high throughput sequencing experiments, starting from the raw sequence reads, over pre-processing and alignment, up to quantification. A single R script can contain all steps of a complete analysis, making it simple to document, reproduce or share the workflow containing all relevant details.

SVbyEye: R Package to visualize alignments between two or multiple DNA sequences

LEGE — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 02:34:57 -0500

R Package to visualize alignments between two or multiple DNA sequences including
a number of functionalities to facilitate processing of alignments in PAF format.

SVbyEye, an open-source R package to visualize and annotate sequence-to-sequence alignments along with various functionalities to process alignments in PAF format. The tool facilitates the characterization of complex SVs in the context of sequence homology helping resolve the mechanisms underlying their formation. Availability and implementation SVbyEye is available at https://github.com/daewoooo/SVbyEye.

Tiny Python3.6 Notebook

Neel — Sat, 03 Jun 2017 03:16:28 -0500

This is not so much an instructional manual, but rather notes, tables, and examples for Python syntax. It was created by the author as an additional resource during training, meant to be distributed as a physical notebook. Participants (who favor the physical characteristics of dead tree material) could add their own notes, thoughts, and have a valuable reference of curated examples.

Genome assembly tutorial "Genome Assembly for short and long reads"

Jit — Sat, 19 Jan 2019 17:29:53 -0600

In this lab we will perform de novo genome assembly of a bacterial genome. You will be guided through the genome assembly starting with data quality control, through to building contigs and analysis of the results. At the end of the lab you will know:

How to perform basic quality checks on the input data
How to run a short read assembler on Illumina data
How to run a long read assembler on Pacific Biosciences or Oxford Nanopore data
How to improve the accuracy of a long read assembly using short reads
How to assess the quality of an assembly
