This page presents bioinformatics and statistical software from The University of Queensland Mathematics Department. For more details on a particular software package click on its description.
Carrak is software with a web interface designed for both biologists and statisticians. It uses the RMagpie R package to offer the ability to train a classifier on a labelled microarray dataset and to then use that classifier to predict the class of new observations. A range of modern classifiers are available, including support vector machines (SVMs) and nearest shrunken centroids (NSCs). Advanced methods are provided to estimate the predictive error rate and to report the subset of genes which appear effective in discriminating between classes.
