Diagnostic tools for biclustering output

Abstract

A BcDiag is a biclustered R package which provides diagnostics and visualization plots for biclustered and clustered data matrix. Five main functions and five supportive functions are included in the package. Three different biclustered packages have made a link to create the bicluster output. More than 8 bicluster methods has supported by the package to extract the biclustered output. It provides profile plots such as 3D, histogram, box plot and parallel plots to visualize the biclustered and cluster out come. Additional diagnostic plots are included to visualize the mean, median, variance, mad and quantile summary statistics of biclustered and clustered data. Additionally, the package presented residual plots for biclustered data based on the outcome of mean and median polish of two ways ANOVA model. Finally, the package has extended the function writebic from biclust package, to hold up additional algorithms from fabia and isa packages.
