Discretization-based random sampling algorithm that is useful for a complex model in high dimension is implemented. The normalizing constant of a target distribution is not needed. Posterior summaries are compared with those by 'OpenBUGS'. The method is described: Wang and Lee (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2013.06.011> and exercised in Lee (2009) <http://hdl.handle.net/1993/21352>.

This lightweight R package provides a method for normalizing and denoising protein expression data from droplet based single cell experiments. Raw protein Unique Molecular Index (UMI) counts from sequencing DNA-conjugated antibody derived tags (ADT) in droplets (e.g. 'CITE-seq') have substantial measurement noise. Our experiments and computational modeling revealed two major components of this noise: 1) protein-specific noise originating from ambient, unbound antibody encapsulated in droplets that can be accurately inferred via the expected protein counts detected in empty droplets, and 2) droplet/cell-specific noise revealed via the shared variance component associated with isotype antibody controls and background protein counts in each cell. This package normalizes and removes both of these sources of noise from raw protein data derived from methods such as 'CITE-seq', 'REAP-seq', 'ASAP-seq', 'TEA-seq', 'proteogenomic' data from the Mission Bio platform, etc. See the vignette for tutorials on how to integrate dsb with 'Seurat' and 'Bioconductor' and how to use dsb in 'Python'.

Base 'DataSHIELD' functions for the server side. 'DataSHIELD' is a software package which allows
    you to do non-disclosive federated analysis on sensitive data. 'DataSHIELD' analytic functions have
    been designed to only share non disclosive summary statistics, with built in automated output
    checking based on statistical disclosure control. With data sites setting the threshold values for
    the automated output checks. For more details, see 'citation("dsBase")'.
