CATALYST provides tools for preprocessing of and differential discovery in cytometry data such as FACS, CyTOF, and IMC. Preprocessing includes i) normalization using bead standards, ii) single-cell deconvolution, and iii) bead-based compensation. For differential discovery, the package provides a number of convenient functions for data processing (e.g., clustering, dimension reduction), as well as a suite of visualizations for exploratory data analysis and exploration of results from differential abundance (DA) and state (DS) analysis in order to identify differences in composition and expression profiles at the subpopulation-level, respectively.

Methods for differential abundance analysis in high-dimensional cytometry data when a covariate is subject to right censoring (e.g. survival time) based on multiple imputation and generalized linear mixed models.

Robust model-based clustering using a t-mixture model with Box-Cox transformation. Note: users should have GSL installed. Windows users: 'consult the README file available in the inst directory of the source distribution for necessary configuration instructions'.

Given a vector of cluster memberships for a cell population, identifies a sequence of gates (polygon filters on 2D scatter plots) for isolation of that cell type.

Statistical methods for differential discovery analyses in high-dimensional cytometry data (including flow cytometry, mass cytometry or CyTOF, and oligonucleotide-tagged cytometry), based on a combination of high-resolution clustering and empirical Bayes moderated tests adapted from transcriptomics.
