Microarray

The iterative Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) algorithm is a variable selection and classification algorithm with an application of classifying 2-class microarray samples, as described in Yeung, Bumgarner and Raftery (Bioinformatics 2005, 21: 2394-2402).

The package is designed to classify microarray RNA-seq gene expression profiles.

Microarray Classification is designed for both biologists and statisticians. It offers the ability to train a classifier on a labelled microarray dataset and to then use that classifier to predict the class of new observations. A range of modern classifiers are available, including support vector machines (SVMs), nearest shrunken centroids (NSCs)... Advanced methods are provided to estimate the predictive error rate and to report the subset of genes which appear essential in discriminating between classes.

This packages aims for easy accessible application of classifiers which have been published in literature using an ExpressionSet as input.

Pigengene package provides an efficient way to infer biological signatures from gene expression profiles. The signatures are independent from the underlying platform, e.g., the input can be microarray or RNA Seq data. It can even infer the signatures using data from one platform, and evaluate them on the other. Pigengene identifies the modules (clusters) of highly coexpressed genes using coexpression network analysis, summarizes the biological information of each module in an eigengene, learns a Bayesian network that models the probabilistic dependencies between modules, and builds a decision tree based on the expression of eigengenes.

Tools to test correlation between gene expression and phenotype in a way that is efficient, structured, fast and scalable. GSEA is also provided.
