About

The biases introduced in association measures, particularly mutual information, are influenced by factors such as tumor purity, mutation burden, and hypermethylation. This package provides the estimation of conditional mutual information (CMI) and its statistical significance with a focus on its application to multi-omics data. Utilizing B-spline functions (inspired by Daub et al. (2004) doi:10.1186/1471-2105-5-118), the package offers tools to estimate the association between heterogeneous multi- omics data, while removing the effects of confounding factors. This helps to unravel complex biological interactions. In addition, it includes methods to evaluate the statistical significance of these associations, providing a robust framework for multi-omics data integration and analysis. This package is ideal for researchers in computational biology, bioinformatics, and systems biology seeking a comprehensive tool for understanding interdependencies in omics data.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("conMItion", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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-conmition

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

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-conMItion

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-conMItion

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
