gespeR-package: Package: Gene-Specific Phenotype EstimatoR

In gespeR: Gene-Specific Phenotype EstimatoR

Description

This package provides a model to deconvolute off-target confounded RNAi knockdown phentypes, and methods to investigate concordance between ranked lists of (estimated) phenotypes. The regularized linear regression model can be fitted using two different strategies. (a) Cross-validation over regularization parameters optimising the mean-squared-error of the model and (b) stability selection of covariates (genes) based on a method by Nicolai Meinshausen et al.
