Overview

About

Maintained by Weiliang Qiu1 releasesCRAN page ↗

A collection of functions to detect gene probes with different means or variances between two groups in (epi)-genomic data analysis, including classical F test and Levene's test for equal variance, likelihood ratio test for equal mean and equal variance, the wrappers for functions in R Bioconductor package 'missMethyl' (Phipson and Oshlack (2014) doi:10.1186/s13059-014-0465-4), the implementation of the methods proposed by Ahn and Wang (2013) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3621641/, and the improved Ahn and Wang's methods that we proposed recently (Qiu and Li et al. (2017) http://oprscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/new-score-tests-for-equality-of-variances-in-the-application-of-dna-methylation-data-analysis.pdf).

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/diffMeanVar/diffMeanVar_0.0.6.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "diffMeanVar_0.0.6.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 (0.0.6) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
