Search Results for "diagnostics"

This package provides high-level interface utilities for MCMC models via Just Another Gibbs Sampler (JAGS), facilitating the use of parallel (or distributed) processors for multiple chains, automated control of convergence and sample length diagnostics, and evaluation of the performance of a model using drop-k validation or against simulated data. Template model specifications can be generated using a standard lme4-style formula interface to assist users less familiar with the BUGS syntax. A JAGS extension module provides additional distributions including the Pareto family of distributions, the DuMouchel prior and the half-Cauchy prior.

...However, the majority of approaches either quantify at low resolution (e.g. at phylum level) or have severe problems discerning highly similar species. Yet, accurate quantification on species level is desirable in applications such as metagenomic diagnostics or community comparison. GASiC is a method to correct read alignment results for the ambiguities imposed by similarities of genomes. It has superior performance over existing methods. You can find the accompanying paper here: http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/41/1/e10.short Thanks to the great work of the SeqAn team, you can now use GASiC as a Knime workflow: https://github.com/seqan/knime_seqan_workflows/tree/master/metagenomics_gasic_workflow

An implementation of the Kernel-based Orthogonal Projections to Latent Structures (K-OPLS) method for MATLAB and R. The supplied functionality includes e.g. cross-validation, kernel parameter optimization, model diagnostics and plot tools.

splitsmb is a standalone application for calculating topological convergence diagnostics on MrBayes tree-output files (unrooted only at this point). It calculates the average- and maximum standard deviations of partition frequencies between runs.
