rob-norm 1.0.1

Python implementation of RobNorm, a robust normalization method for labeled quantitative proteomics data.

rob-norm 🦭🧬

Python implementation of the RobNorm R package for robust normalization of quantitative omics data.

Features

• Identical normalization results to the original R implementation.
• Fast and efficient implementation using NumPy (57 ms vs 113 ms in R for 5000x200 data on an M1 MacBook Air)

Installation

Install via pip:

pip install rob-norm

Usage

import pandas as pd
from rob_norm import rob_norm

# load your data into a DataFrame (rows = features, columns = samples)
data = pd.read_csv('./data/simulated_measurements.txt', index_col=0, sep='\t')

# alternatively, simulate data using the provided function
# sim_dat_fn(row_frac, col_frac, mu_up, mu_down, n, m, nu_fix=True, seed=None):

# perform a normalization operation provided by the package
results = rob_norm(data, gamma_0=0.5, tol=1e-4, step=200)

normalized_data = results['norm_data']

# verify against reference results
df_results = pd.read_csv('./data/simulated_measurements_normalized.txt', index_col=0, sep='\t')

assert np.allclose(df_results, normalized_data) # == True
