Functional Analysis of Networks with freeCount

December 12, 2025 | morphoscape

Functional analysis is useful for determining the functions of a set of interesting genes. These gene sets can be lists of genes produced from different analysis, including weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The freeCount FA app will help you perform functional analysis of gene sets, which can be produced ...

Network Analysis with freeCount

December 11, 2025 | morphoscape

Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) is used to investigate the function of genes at the system-level. In a network analysis genes with similar patterns of expression are grouped together into modules. The sets of genes in these modules are co-expressed as a result of shared biological functions, pathways, tissues, ...

Smoothed ROC Curves, Calculus and Curvature

December 11, 2025 | Joseph B. Rickert

A common use of ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curves in data science is to evaluate performance of binary classifiers. In this use case, the data set is usually a sample from a population and so the ROC curve itself is a random object. Although it is not common to have ...

Un-debunking the GAMLSS myth

December 11, 2025 | Achim Zeileis

Generalized additive models for location, scale, and shape (GAMLSS) are popular for estimating reference equations, e.g., for lung function measurements. A recent paper claimed to 'debunk' the GAMLSS myth in this context by showing that much ...

What’s In The Box: Wrapped but not streamed 2025

December 4, 2025 | Stephen Royle

I’m a music fan who is anti-streaming and instead I stubbornly maintain a large music collection. At this time of year, streamers receive a round-up of their year’s listening in a “wrapped” report. Not wanting to miss out, I set about rendering my own annual round-up using R! ...
