Evaluating the reliability of your own metrics and the measurements done on your own datasets by analysing the stability and goodness of the classifications of such metrics.

ClustIRR analyzes repertoires of B- and T-cell receptors. It starts by identifying communities of immune receptors with similar specificities, based on the sequences of their complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). Next, it employs a Bayesian probabilistic models to quantify differential community occupancy (DCO) between repertoires, allowing the identification of expanding or contracting communities in response to e.g. infection or cancer treatment.

Vendors the igraph C source code and builds it into a static library. Other Bioconductor packages can link to libigraph.a in their own C/C++ code. This is intended for packages wrapping C/C++ libraries that depend on the igraph C library and cannot be easily adapted to use the igraph R package.

The PIUMA package offers a tidy pipeline of Topological Data Analysis frameworks to identify and characterize communities in high and heterogeneous dimensional data.

The ClusterSignificance package provides tools to assess if class clusters in dimensionality reduced data representations have a separation different from permuted data. The term class clusters here refers to, clusters of points representing known classes in the data. This is particularly useful to determine if a subset of the variables, e.g. genes in a specific pathway, alone can separate samples into these established classes. ClusterSignificance accomplishes this by, projecting all points onto a one dimensional line. Cluster separations are then scored and the probability of the seen separation being due to chance is evaluated using a permutation method.
