Applied Statistics for Bioinformatics using R

Neel — Thu, 30 Aug 2018 03:45:39 -0500

The purpose of this book is to give an introduction into statistics in order to solve some problems of bioinformatics. Statistics provides procedures to explore and visualize data as well as to test biological hypotheses. The book intends to be introductory in explaining and programming elementary statistical concepts, thereby bridging the gap between high school levels and the specialized statistical literature

regioneR: an R package for the management and comparison of genomic regions

Jit — Tue, 11 Dec 2018 08:43:51 -0600

Regioner is an R package for the management and comparison of genomic regions. It offers a set of function for basic manipulation of region sets extending the functionality of GenomicRanges and a powerful and customizable permutation test framework. With it, it's possible to study the association of a set of regions with other sets of regions, functions defined over the genome or essentially any user defined function.

plumber:An R package that converts your existing R code to a web API

BioJoker — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 19:20:10 -0500

plumber allows you to create a REST API by merely decorating your existing R source code with special comments. Take a look at an example.

# plumber.R

#* Echo back the input
#* @param msg The message to echo
#* @get /echo
function(msg=""){
  list(msg = paste0("The message is: '", msg, "'"))
}

#* Plot a histogram
#* @png
#* @get /plot
function(){
  rand <- rnorm(100)
  hist(rand)
}

#* Return the sum of two numbers
#* @param a The first number to add
#* @param b The second number to add
#* @post /sum
function(a, b){
  as.numeric(a) + as.numeric(b)
}

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.

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.
