Overview

About

Maintained by Natalia Novoselova4 releasesCRAN page ↗

Contains functions for the data analysis with the emphasis on biological data, including several algorithms for feature ranking, feature selection, classification algorithms with the embedded validation procedures. The functions can deal with numerical as well as with nominal features. Includes also the functions for calculation of feature AUC (Area Under the ROC Curve) and HUM (hypervolume under manifold) values and construction 2D- and 3D- ROC curves. Provides the calculation of Area Above the RCC (AAC) values and construction of Relative Cost Curves (RCC) to estimate the classifier performance under unequal misclassification costs problem. There exists the special function to deal with missing values, including different imputing schemes.

Install

R (source archive)Ubuntu (r2u)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Biocomb/Biocomb_0.4.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "Biocomb_0.4.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.4) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-biocomb

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make
