Product Summary
Intended Audiences:
Bioinformaticians and Bologists
Area of Focus: Data Analysis and Statistical Tools Primary Workspace: ICR
Product Description:
VISDA (VIsual Statistical Data Analyzer) is an analytical tool for cluster modeling, visualization, and discovery. Being statistically-principled and visually-insightful, VISDA exploits human gift for pattern recognition and allows users to discover hidden clustered data structure within high dimensional and complex biomedical data sets. The unique features of VISDA include its hybrid algorithm, robust performance, and “tree of phenotype”. With global and local biomarker identification and prediction functionalities, VISDA allows users across the cancer research community to analyze their genomic/proteomic data to define new cancer subtypes based on the gene expression patterns, construct hierarchical trees of multiclass cancer phenotypic composites, or to discover the correlation between cancer statistics and risk factors.
