Gini methodology-based correlation and clustering analysis of
microarray and RNA-Seq gene expression data
Description
This package provides functions for calculating
associations between two genes with five correlation
methods(e.g., the Gini correlation coefficient [GCC], the
Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient [PCC], the
Kendall tau rank correlation coefficient [KCC], the Spearman's
rank correlation coefficient [SCC] and the Tukey's biweight
correlation coefficient [BiWt], and three non-correlation
methods (e.g., mutual information [MI] and the maximal
information-based nonparametric exploration [MINE], and the
euclidean distance [ED]). It can also been implemented to
perform the correlation and clustering analysis of
transcriptomic data profiled by microarray and RNA-Seq
technologies. Additionally, this package can be further applied
to construct gene co-expression networks (GCNs).
