Statistical methods for differential discovery analyses in high-dimensional cytometry data (including flow cytometry, mass cytometry or CyTOF, and oligonucleotide-tagged cytometry), based on a combination of high-resolution clustering and empirical Bayes moderated tests adapted from transcriptomics.

Methods for differential abundance analysis in high-dimensional cytometry data when a covariate is subject to right censoring (e.g. survival time) based on multiple imputation and generalized linear mixed models.

This package provides functions for preprocessing, automated gating and meta-analysis of cytometry data. It also provides functions that facilitate the collection of cytometry data from the ImmPort database.

Given a vector of cluster memberships for a cell population, identifies a sequence of gates (polygon filters on 2D scatter plots) for isolation of that cell type.

Samples large data such that spectral clustering is possible while preserving density information in edge weights. More specifically, given a matrix of coordinates as input, SamSPECTRAL first builds the communities to sample the data points. Then, it builds a graph and after weighting the edges by conductance computation, the graph is passed to a classic spectral clustering algorithm to find the spectral clusters. The last stage of SamSPECTRAL is to combine the spectral clusters. The resulting "connected components" estimate biological cell populations in the data. See the vignette for more details on how to use this package, some illustrations, and simple examples.

CATALYST provides tools for preprocessing of and differential discovery in cytometry data such as FACS, CyTOF, and IMC. Preprocessing includes i) normalization using bead standards, ii) single-cell deconvolution, and iii) bead-based compensation. For differential discovery, the package provides a number of convenient functions for data processing (e.g., clustering, dimension reduction), as well as a suite of visualizations for exploratory data analysis and exploration of results from differential abundance (DA) and state (DS) analysis in order to identify differences in composition and expression profiles at the subpopulation-level, respectively.
