spqrp - Sample Provenance Quality Resolver in Proteomics
Detect sample-provenance inconsistencies and potential
mix-ups in mass-spectrometry-based plasma-proteome cohorts.
Provides a clustering-based approach (build a nearest-neighbour
graph in a dimensionality-reduced space and iteratively split
large components by edge weight), a threshold-based approach
(classify sample pairs as belonging or not-belonging from a
pairwise distance cutoff), parameter optimization over distance
metrics and cutoffs, and a pairwise random-forest classifier
for protein importance ranking. This is a native R port of the
author's Python package 'spqrp'
(<https://github.com/fhradilak/spqrp>), implementing methods
from an associated manuscript currently in preparation.
