depthTools - Depth Tools Package
Implementation of different statistical tools for the
description and analysis of gene expression data based on the
concept of data depth, namely, the scale curves for visualizing
the dispersion of one or various groups of samples (e.g. types
of tumors), a rank test to decide whether two groups of samples
come from a single distribution and two methods of supervised
classification techniques, the DS and TAD methods. All these
techniques are based on the Modified Band Depth, which is a
recent notion of depth with a low computational cost, what
renders it very appropriate for high dimensional data such as
gene expression data.
