This package provides a set of tools for making TxDb
objects from genomic annotations from various sources (e.g. UCSC, Ensembl, and GFF files). These tools allow the user to download the genomic locations of transcripts, exons, and CDS, for a given assembly, and to import them in a TxDb
object. TxDb
objects are implemented in the GenomicFeatures
package, together with flexible methods for extracting the desired features in convenient formats.
ATAC-seq, an assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing, is a rapid and sensitive method for chromatin accessibility analysis. It was developed as an alternative method to MNase-seq, FAIRE-seq and DNAse-seq. The ATACseqQC package was developed to help users to quickly assess whether their ATAC-seq experiment is successful. It includes diagnostic plots of fragment size distribution, proportion of mitochondria reads, nucleosome positioning pattern, and CTCF or other Transcript Factor footprints.
Implementations for several robust procedures that allow for (online) extraction of the signal of univariate or multivariate time series by applying robust regression techniques to a moving time window are provided. Included are univariate filtering procedures based on repeated-median regression as well as hybrid and trimmed filters derived from it; see Schettlinger et al. (2006) <doi:10.1515/BMT.2006.010>. The adaptive online repeated median by Schettlinger et al. (2010) <doi:10.1002/acs.1105> and the slope comparing adaptive repeated median by Borowski and Fried (2013) <doi:10.1007/s11222-013-9391-7> choose the width of the moving time window adaptively. Multivariate versions are also provided; see Borowski et al.

Comfortable ways to work with hyperspectral data sets. I.e. spatially or time-resolved spectra, or spectra with any other kind of information associated with each of the spectra. The spectra can be data as obtained in XRF, UV/VIS, Fluorescence, AES, NIR, IR, Raman, NMR, MS, etc. More generally, any data that is recorded over a discretized variable, e.g. absorbance = f(wavelength), stored as a vector of absorbance values for discrete wavelengths is suitable.
Simplifies the generation of customized R Markdown PDF templates. A template may include an individual logo, typography, geometry or color scheme. The package provides a skeleton with detailed instructions for customizations. The skeleton can be modified by changing defaults in the YAML header, by adding additional LaTeX
commands or by applying dynamic adjustments in R. Individual corporate design elements, such as a title page, can be added as R functions that produce LaTeX
code.
Leverages the yum package to implement a YAML ('YAML Ain't Markup Language', a human friendly standard for data serialization; see <https:yaml.org>) standard for documenting justifications, such as for decisions taken during the planning, execution and analysis of a study or during the development of a behavior change intervention as illustrated by Marques & Peters (2019) <doi:10.17605/osf.io/ndxha>. These justifications are both human- and machine-readable, facilitating efficient extraction and organisation.

This is a shape preserving spline <doi:10.1137/0720057> which is guaranteed to be monotonic and concave or convex if the data is monotonic and concave or convex. It does not use any optimisation and is therefore quick and smoothly converges to a fixed point in economic dynamics problems including value function iteration. It also automatically gives the first two derivatives of the spline and options for determining behaviour when evaluated outside the interpolation domain.
Wavelet decomposes a series into multiple sub series called detailed and smooth components which helps to capture volatility at multi resolution level by various models. Two hybrid Machine Learning (ML) models (Artificial Neural Network and Support Vector Regression have been used) have been developed in combination with stochastic models, feature selection, and optimization algorithms for prediction of the data. The algorithms have been developed following Paul and Garai (2021) <doi:10.1007/s00500-021-06087-4>.
This package provides an interface to infer the parameters of BASiCS
using the variational inference (ADVI), Markov chain Monte Carlo (NUTS), and maximum a posteriori (BFGS) inference engines in the Stan programming language. BASiCS
is a Bayesian hierarchical model that uses an adaptive Metropolis within Gibbs sampling scheme. Alternative inference methods provided by Stan may be preferable in some situations, for example for particularly large data or posterior distributions with difficult geometries.
The S4Vectors package defines the Vector
and List
virtual classes and a set of generic functions that extend the semantic of ordinary vectors and lists in R. Package developers can easily implement vector-like or list-like objects as concrete subclasses of Vector
or List
. In addition, a few low-level concrete subclasses of general interest (e.g. DataFrame
, Rle
, and Hits
) are implemented in the S4Vectors package itself.
repo2docker fetches a repository (from GitHub, GitLab, Zenodo, Figshare, Dataverse installations, a Git repository or a local directory) and builds a container image in which the code can be executed. The image build process is based on the configuration files found in the repository. repo2docker can be used to explore a repository locally by building and executing the constructed image of the repository, or as a means of building images that are pushed to a Docker registry.
