Package: awst Title: Asymmetric Within-Sample Transformation Version: 1.11.0 Authors@R: c(person(given = "Davide", family = "Risso", role = c("aut", "cre", "cph"), email = "risso.davide@gmail.com", comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0001-8508-5012")), person(given = "Stefano", family = "Pagnotta", role = c("aut", "cph"), email = "smpagnotta@gmail.com", comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-8298-9777"))) Description: We propose an Asymmetric Within-Sample Transformation (AWST) to regularize RNA-seq read counts and reduce the effect of noise on the classification of samples. AWST comprises two main steps: standardization and smoothing. These steps transform gene expression data to reduce the noise of the lowly expressed features, which suffer from background effects and low signal-to-noise ratio, and the influence of the highly expressed features, which may be the result of amplification bias and other experimental artifacts.
