Overview

The stIHC package implements the spatial transcriptomics iterative hierarchical clustering method from the paper Higgins C, Li JJ, Carey M. Spatial transcriptomics iterative hierarchical clustering (stIHC): a novel method for identifying spatial gene co-expression modules. Quantitative Biology. 2025;e70011. https://doi.org/10.1002/qub2.70011

Example

An example demonstrating how to use stIHC, along with the data required to reproduce simulations from Section 3.2 in our paper, is provided.

library(stIHC)

rds_path <- system.file("extdata", "spatial_data.rds", package = "stIHC")
example_data <- readRDS(rds_path)

stihc = stIHC(example_data) #Run stIHC

table(stihc$label)
