powerTCR: modeling the clone size distribution of the TCR repertoire

This is an R package for fitting the discrete gamma-GPD spliced threshold model to a distribution of clone sizes. The package contains tools needed to perform all of the analyses found in our paper, powerTCR: a model-based approach to comparative analysis of the clone size distribution of the T cell receptor repertoire.

Installation

Install and load this package from BioConductor by typing in R:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("powerTCR")

or take it directly from from GitHub with:

library(devtools)
install_github("hillarykoch/powerTCR")
library(powerTCR)

Getting going

See the package vignette for a detailed walkthrough of package features.
