Overview

About

Maintained by Dillon LloydFirst published 2023-12-121 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A novel feature-wise normalization method based on a zero-inflated negative binomial model. This method assumes that the effects of sequencing depth vary for each taxon on their mean and also incorporates a rational link of zero probability and taxon dispersion as a function of sequencing depth. Ziyue Wang, Dillon Lloyd, Shanshan Zhao, Alison Motsinger-Reif (2023) doi:10.1101/2023.10.31.563648.
