Common Spacial Patterns (CSP) is a widely used method to analyse electroencephalography (EEG) data, concerning the supervised classification of brains activity. More generally, it can be useful to distinguish between multivariate signals recorded during a time span for two different classes. CSP is based on the simultaneous diagonalization of the average covariance matrices of signals from both classes and it allows to project the data into a low-dimensional subspace. Once data are represented in a low-dimensional subspace, a classification step must be carried out. The original CSP method is based on the Euclidean distance between signals and here, we extend it so that it can be applied on any appropriate distance for data at hand. Both, the classical CSP and the new Distance-Based CSP (DB-CSP) are implemented in an R package, called dbcsp.

This document describes the R package UBL that allows the use of several methods for handling utility-based learning problems. Classification and regression problems that assume non-uniform costs and/or benefits pose serious challenges to predictive analytic tasks. In the context of meteorology, finance, medicine, ecology, among many other, specific domain information concerning the preference bias of the users must be taken into account to enhance the models predictive performance. To deal with this problem, a large number of techniques was proposed by the research community for both classification and regression tasks. The main goal of UBL package is to facilitate the utility-based predictive analytic task by providing a set of methods to deal with this type of problems in the R environment. It is a versatile tool that provides mechanisms to handle both regression and classification (binary and multiclass) tasks. Moreover, UBL package allows the user to specify his domain preferences, but it also provides some automatic methods that try to infer those preference bias from the domain, considering some common known settings.
When implementing functionality which requires sparse matrices, there are numerous storage formats to choose from, each with advantages and disadvantages. To achieve good performance, several formats may need to be used in one program, requiring expl icit selection and conversion between the formats. This can be both tedious and error-prone, especially for non-expert users. Motivated by this issue, we present a user-friendly sparse matrix class for the C++ language, with a high-level application programming interface deliberately similar to the widely used MATLAB language. The class internally uses two main approaches to achieve efficient execution: (i) a hybrid storage framework, which automatically and seamlessly switches between three underlying storage formats (compressed sparse column, coordinate list, Red-Black tree) depending on which format is best suited for specific operations, and (ii) template-based meta-programming to automatically detect and optimise execution of common expression patterns. To facilitate relatively quick conversion of research code into production environments, the class and its associated functions provide a suite of essential sparse linear algebra functionality (eg., arithmetic operations, submatrix manipulation) as well as high-level functions for sparse eigendecompositions and linear equation solvers. The latter are achieved by providing easy-to-use abstractions of the low-level ARPACK and SuperLU libraries. The source code is open and provided under the permissive Apache 2.0 license, allowing unencumbered use in commercial products.
This paper is dedicated to the R package FMM which implements a novel approach to describe rhythmic patterns in oscillatory signals. The frequency modulated Mobius (FMM) model is defined as a parametric signal plus a gaussian noise, where the signal can be described as a single or a sum of waves. The FMM approach is flexible enough to describe a great variety of rhythmic patterns. The FMM package includes all required functions to fit and explore single and multi-wave FMM models, as well as a restricted version that allows equality constraints between parameters representing a priori knowledge about the shape to be included. Moreover, the FMM package can generate synthetic data and visualize the results of the fitting process. The potential of this methodology is illustrated with examples of such biological oscillations as the circadian rhythm in gene expression, the electrical activity of the heartbeat and neuronal activity.
Convolutional neural networks, the state of the art for image segmentation, have been successfully applied to histology images by many computational researchers. However, the translatability of this technology to clinicians and biological researchers is limited due to the complex and undeveloped user interface of the code, as well as the extensive computer setup required. As an extension of our previous work (arXiv:1812.07509), we have developed a tool for segmentation of whole slide images (WSIs) with an easy to use graphical user interface. Our tool runs a state-of-the-art convolutional neural network for segmentation of WSIs in the cloud. Our plugin is built on the open source tool HistomicsTK by Kitware Inc. (Clifton Park, NY), which provides remote data management and viewing abilities for WSI datasets. The ability to access this tool over the internet will facilitate widespread use by computational non-experts. Users can easily upload slides to a server where our plugin is installed and perform human in the loop segmentation analysis remotely. This tool is open source, and has the ability to be adapted to segment of any pathological structure. For a proof of concept, we have trained it to segment glomeruli from renal tissue images, achieving an F-score > 0.97 on holdout tissue slides.
Adherent biological cells generate traction forces on a substrate that play a central role for migration, mechanosensing, differentiation, and collective behavior. The established method for quantifying this cell-substrate interaction is traction for ce microscopy (TFM). In spite of recent advancements, inference of the traction forces from measurements remains very sensitive to noise. However, suppression of the noise reduces the measurement accuracy and the spatial resolution, which makes it crucial to select an optimal level of noise reduction. Here, we present a fully automated method for noise reduction and robust, standardized traction-force reconstruction. The method, termed Bayesian Fourier transform traction cytometry, combines the robustness of Bayesian L2 regularization with the computation speed of Fourier transform traction cytometry. We validate the performance of the method with synthetic and real data. The method is made freely available as a software package with a graphical user-interface for intuitive usage.
