About

As more scientific data is shared, better tools are needed for integrating multiple public datasets. Network analysis tools are important in analysis of high-dimensional data such as genomics, but difficulties arise when faced with multiple sources of data due to large variability across datasets. This algorithm, cmdnet, attempts to understand this variability by computing correlation matrix distance (CMD) statistics for an ensemble of networks. It can be used to quantify overall and node-specific differences between network datasets, and rank nodes by consistency of edge weights. In this way, it can also be used as a noise reduction tool by identifying highly variable nodes for removal.

Vignette

There is a vignette illustrating the use of cmdnet.
