Since it is proven to be NP-hard, exact and efficient algorithm does not exist. This package provides convenient functionality for obtaining an approximate solution to this problem using loopy belief propagation algorithm.

In order to produce better results, matches are based on the weighted distance of PCs where the weights are equal to the % variance explained by that PC. A weighted Mahalanobis distance metric (Kidd et al. (1987) <DOI:10.1016/0031-3203(87)90066-5>) is used to determine matches.

Pathifier is an algorithm that infers pathway deregulation scores for each tumor sample on the basis of expression data. This score is determined, in a context-specific manner, for every particular dataset and type of cancer that is being investigated. The algorithm transforms gene-level information into pathway-level information, generating a compact and biologically relevant representation of each sample.
