astir 0.1.0

No project description provided

astir is a modelling framework for the assignment of cell type and cell state across a range of single-cell technologies such as Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC). astir is built using pytorch and uses recognition networks for fast minibatch stochastic variational inference.

Key applications:

• Automated assignment of cell type and state from highly multiplexed imaging and proteomic data

• Diagnostic measures to check quality of resulting type and state inferences

• Ability to map new data to cell types and states trained on existing data using recognition neural networks

• A range of plotting and data loading utilities
