Variance Stabilizing Transformations for Single Cell UMI Data

v0.4.3 · Jan 9, 2026 · GPL-3 | file LICENSE

Description

A normalization method for single-cell UMI count data using a variance stabilizing transformation. The transformation is based on a negative binomial regression model with regularized parameters. As part of the same regression framework, this package also provides functions for batch correction, and data correction. See Hafemeister and Satija (2019) <doi:10.1186/s13059-019-1874-1>, and Choudhary and Satija (2022) <doi:10.1186/s13059-021-02584-9> for more details.
