Debian Med Statistics packages

Bioconductor package for differential expression analysis of whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) and digital gene expression profiles with biological replication. It uses empirical Bayes estimation and exact tests based on the negative binomial distribution. It is also useful for differential signal analysis with other types of genome-scale count data.

A Bioconductor package for the analysis of gene expression microarray data, especially the use of linear models for analysing designed experiments and the assessment of differential expression. The package includes pre-processing capabilities for two-colour spotted arrays. The differential expression methods apply to all array platforms and treat Affymetrix, single channel and two channel experiments in a unified way.

This package takes a list of p-values resulting from the simultaneous testing of many hypotheses and estimates their q-values. The q-value of a test measures the proportion of false positives incurred (called the false discovery rate) when that particular test is called significant. Various plots are automatically generated, allowing one to make sensible significance cut-offs. Several mathematical results have recently been shown on the conservative accuracy of the estimated q-values from this software. The software can be applied to problems in genomics, brain imaging, astrophysics, and data mining.

pvclust is a package for assessing the uncertainty in hierarchical cluster analysis. It provides AU (approximately unbiased) p-values as well as BP (boostrap probability) values computed via multiscale bootstrap resampling.

RandomForest implements Breiman’s random forest algorithm (based on Breiman and Cutler’s original Fortran code) for classification and regression. It can also be used in unsupervised mode for assessing proximities among data points.

The technique uses multiple decision trees and combines their individual votes.

This metapackage is part of the Debian Pure Blend "Debian Science" and installs packages related to statistics. This task is a general task which might be useful for any scientific work. It depends from a lot of R packages as well as from other tools which are useful to do statistics. Moreover the Science Mathematics task is suggested to optionally install all mathematics related software.

Beeswarm is an add-on package for the R statistical environment. The bee swarm plot is a one-dimensional scatter plot like "stripchart", but with closely-packed, non-overlapping points.
