Overview

About

Maintained by Adrian SalavatyFirst published 2020-02-1720 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides functions for the identification, classification, and ranking of influential nodes and candidate features from network and omics data. The package implements the Integrated Value of Influence (IVI) for integrative network centrality analysis, the SIR-based Influence Ranking (SIRIR) model for unsupervised influence ranking, and the Experimental data-based Integrative Ranking (ExIR) model for prioritizing candidate driver, biomarker, and mediator features from experimental omics data. Functions are provided for network reconstruction from adjacency matrices and data frames, topological analysis, centrality calculation, assessment of associations between centrality measures, and conditional probability analysis. ExIR supports bulk and single-cell omics data, including matrices, sparse matrices, data frames, tibbles, and Seurat objects.

Install

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

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

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

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("asalavaty/influential")

Development version from asalavaty/influential. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-influential

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-influential

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-influential

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