Core Package Functions
Identifying marker genes, creating models, and classifying cells to a reference dataset.
-
FindMarkerGenes()
- Finds marker genes at each hierarchical level specified by the tree, using the GE matrix provided in the ref_bpcells parameter, and the celltype labels provided in the input to ref_metadata. It identifies marker genes by using a function provided in the BPCells package, marker_features, which finds genes using the Wilcoxon test.
-
GetModels()
- Function that gives models trained to differentiate all pairwise matchups.
-
Classify()
- Classification function that takes in input dataset (in BPCells format), alongside created models and the tree structure and provides a vector of classifications.
-
CreateHierarchy()
- Create Hierarchical Tree Structure from CSV with parent and child nodes named in a csv file
-
CreateEqualTree()
- This function is meant for users who don't want to use the tree-based/hierarchical functionality of the package. It creates a tree that assumes that all the celltype labels are at the same level of the tree.
