NAME Bio::Sampling::Valection VERSION version 1.0.0 DESCRIPTION Bio::Sampling::Valection contains a variety of algorithms for choosing verification candidates ('calls') from competing tools or parameterizations ('callers'), to fairly assess their performance against each other. Originally created to select from single nucleotide variant (SNV) calls generated by SNV mutation calling algorithms, this software can easily be extended to other mutation types (e.g. structural variants, gene fusions, etc.) provided data is formatted correctly. Six sampling methods are made available to the user: 1) Random Sampling: each call has an equal probability of getting selected. 2) Equal-per-caller: an equal number of calls is selected from each caller. 3) Equal-per-overlap: calls are grouped the number of callers that made the call, then an equal number of calls is selected from each group. 4) Increasing-with-overlap: the likelihood of a call getting selected is proportional to the number of callers that made the call. 5) Decreasing-with-overlap: the likelihood of a call getting selected is inversely proportional to the number of callers that made the call. 6) Directed sampling: a) an equal number of calls is selected from each caller and b) the likelihood of a call getting selected is proportional to the number of callers that made it. INSTALLATION This package requires the valection C library which can be downloaded from . To install the C library on Linux, run: ./configure make sudo make install sudo ldconfig This will install the program as 'valection', as well as the libvalec library.
