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...

R-gregmisc is a set of extension package for the open-source statistical environment/language "R''. It includes functions for plotting (gplots), data manupulation (gdata), modeling (gmodels), and programming tools (gtools), creation and management of sub-processes (fork), determing sample sizes for -omics experiments (ssize), and a variety of other packages.

Metagenomics yields enormous numbers of microbial sequences that can be assigned a metabolic function. Using such data to infer community-level metabolic divergence is hindered by the lack of a suitable statistical framework. Here, we describe a novel hierarchical Bayesian model, called BiomeNet (Bayesian inference of metabolic networks), for inferring differential prevalence of metabolic networks among microbial communities. To infer the structure of community-level metabolic...

A population-based method for DNA copy number analysis: recurrent copy number aberration indentification in multiple samples (with no need of single-sample calling). Developed for a quick analysis of high resolution and large population data.
