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.

Introduction to phylogenies in R

Abhi — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 02:27:21 -0500

R phylogenetics is built on the contributed packages for phylogenetics in R, and there are many such packages. Let's begin today by installing a few critical packages, such as ape, phangorn, phytools, and geiger. To get the most recent CRAN version of these packages, you will need to have R 3.3.x installed on your computer!

Finding Patterns in Biological Sequences

Jit — Thu, 22 Dec 2016 10:30:49 -0600

In this report we provide an overview of known techniques for discovery of patterns of biological sequences (DNA and proteins). We also provide biological motivation, and methods of biological verification of such patterns. Finally we list publicly available tools and databases for pattern discovery. On-line supplement is available through http://genetics.uwaterloo.ca/∼tvinar/cs798g/motif.
