This package provides a Bayesian meta-analysis method for studying cross-phenotype genetic associations. It uses summary-level data across multiple phenotypes to simultaneously measure the evidence of aggregate-level pleiotropic association and estimate an optimal subset of traits associated with the risk locus. CPBayes is based on a spike and slab prior. The methodology is available from: A Majumdar, T Haldar, S Bhattacharya, JS Witte (2018) <doi:10.1371/journal.pgen.1007139>.

The CalMaTe method calibrates preprocessed allele-specific copy number estimates (ASCNs) from DNA microarrays by controlling for single-nucleotide polymorphism-specific allelic crosstalk. The resulting ASCNs are on average more accurate, which increases the power of segmentation methods for detecting changes between copy number states in tumor studies including copy neutral loss of heterozygosity. CalMaTe applies to any ASCNs regardless of preprocessing method and microarray technology, e.g. Affymetrix and Illumina.

An open, multi-algorithmic pipeline for easy, fast and efficient analysis of cellular sub-populations and the molecular signatures that characterize them. The pipeline consists of four successive steps: data pre-processing, cellular clustering with pseudo-temporal ordering, defining differential expressed genes and biomarker identification. More details on Ghannoum et. al. (2021) <doi:10.3390/ijms22031399>. This package implements extensions of the work published by Ghannoum et. al. (2019) <doi:10.1101/700989>.

This package provides a collection of functions to deal with spatial and spatiotemporal autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (spatial ARCH and GARCH models) by Otto, Schmid, Garthoff (2018, Spatial Statistics) <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2018.07.005>: simulation of spatial ARCH-type processes (spARCH, log/exponential-spARCH, complex-spARCH); quasi-maximum-likelihood estimation of the parameters of spARCH models and spatial autoregressive models with spARCH disturbances, diagnostic checks, visualizations.

The base tools union() intersect(), etc., follow the algebraic definition that each element of a set must be unique. Since it's often helpful to compare all elements of two vectors, this toolset treats every element as unique for counting purposes. For ease of use, all functions in vecsets have an argument multiple which, when set to FALSE, reverts them to the base::sets (alias for all the items) tools functionality.

An R interface for processing concentration-response datasets using Curvep, a response noise filtering algorithm. The algorithm was described in the publications (Sedykh A et al. (2011) <doi:10.1289/ehp.1002476> and Sedykh A (2016) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-6346-1_14>). Other parametric fitting approaches (e.g., Hill equation) are also adopted for ease of comparison. 3-parameter Hill equation from tcpl package (Filer D et al., <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw680>) and 4-parameter Hill equation from Curve Class2 approach (Wang Y et al., <doi:10.2174/1875397301004010057>) are available. Also, methods for calculating the confidence interval around the activity metrics are also provided. The methods are based on the bootstrap approach to simulate the datasets (Hsieh J-H et al. <doi:10.1093/toxsci/kfy258>). The simulated datasets can be used to derive the baseline noise threshold in an assay endpoint. This threshold is critical in the toxicological studies to derive the point-of-departure (POD).

This package implements topological gene set analysis using a two-step empirical approach. It exploits graph decomposition theory to create a junction tree and reconstruct the most relevant signal path. In the first step clipper selects significant pathways according to statistical tests on the means and the concentration matrices of the graphs derived from pathway topologies. Then, it "clips" the whole pathway identifying the signal paths having the greatest association with a specific phenotype.
