BcDiag (version 1.0.10)

BcDiag-package: The BCDiag package

Description

Bicluster Diagnostics plots

Introduction

The Bicluster Diagnostics plots(BcDiag) package is a visualization technique, for profiling and summarizing Bicluster data, particularly for gene expression level data. Target data matrix are bicluster genes(rows) and conditions(columns) versus clustered genes or conditions.

Main task

A BicDiag is a package of visualaization bicluster data, which is a subset matrix that have similar characterstics in terms of row(genes) and columns(conditions). It has used three different types of bicluster algorithms to extract the biculsterd data; 'biclust','isa2' and 'fabia'. plots such as boxplot,histogram, line plot,3D plot are some of the plots that have used to visualize the data. Major taskes of the package can be categorized in to three sections;

1. profiling and summarizing the biclustered vs. the clustered simultaneously
2. profiling and summarizing only the biclusterd data.
3. exploring the biclusterd data using anova and median polish techniques.
