Bioc currentSCFA: Subtyping via Consensus Factor Analysis
Release Lineage
Entered 3.12 · Oct 28, 2020
Current · Requires R 4.6
Description
Subtyping via Consensus Factor Analysis (SCFA) can efficiently remove noisy signals from consistent molecular patterns in multi-omics data. SCFA first uses an autoencoder to select only important features and then repeatedly performs factor analysis to represent the data with different numbers of factors. Using these representations, it can reliably identify cancer subtypes and accurately predict risk scores of patients.
