Making 2D Hilbert Curve

Jit — Mon, 17 Sep 2018 05:43:35 -0500

Hilbert curve is a type of space-filling curves that folds one dimensional axis into a two dimensional space, but still keeps the locality. It has advantages to visualize data with long axis in following two aspects:

greatly improve resolution of the visualization fron n to √nn;
easy to visualize clusters because generally data points in the axis will also be close in the 2D space.

This package aims to provide an easy and flexible way to visualize data through Hilbert curve. The implementation and example figures are based on following sources:

chromoMap-An R package for Interactive Visualization and Annotation of Chromosomes

Neel — Fri, 12 Apr 2019 05:30:41 -0500

Provides interactive, configurable and elegant graphics visualization of the chromosomes or chromosome regions of any living organism allowing users to map chromosome elements (like genes, SNPs etc.) on the chromosome plot. It introduces a special plot viz. the "chromosome heatmap" that, in addition to mapping elements, can visualize the data associated with chromosome elements (like gene expression) in the form of heat colors which can be highly advantageous in the scientific interpretations and research work. The package provide multiple features like visualizing multiple sets, chromosome heat-maps, group annotations, adding hyperlinks, and labelling. The plots can be saved as HTML documents that can be customized and shared easily. In addition, you can include them in R Markdown or in R 'Shiny' applications.

alluvial diagram

Jit — Sat, 21 Sep 2019 07:31:08 -0500

Alluvial diagram is a variant of a Parallel Coordinates Plot (PCP) but for categorical variables. Variables are assigned to vertical axes that are parallel. Values are represented with blocks on each axis. Observations are represented with alluvia (sing. “alluvium”) spanning across all the axes.

EFS: an ensemble feature selection tool implemented as R-package and web-application

Jit — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 05:12:23 -0600

The software EFS (Ensemble Feature Selection) makes use of multiple feature selection methods and combines their normalized outputs to a quantitative ensemble importance. Currently, eight different feature selection methods have been integrated in EFS, which can be used separately or combined in an ensemble.
