# categoryCompare
A Bioconductor package for meta analysis of high-throughput datasets using
enriched feature annotations instead of just the features themselves.
See the "Description" file for additional requirements.
## Documentation
The [Vignette][vignLink] provides a description of the thinking behind
this package as well as a toy example for demonstration purposes.
## Installation
Installation of this package from Github requires the [devtools][devtoolsLink]
package.
```r
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("categoryCompare", "rmflight")
```
Alternatively, you can install **categoryCompare** from Bioconductor itself.
```r
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("categoryCompare")
```
