Open Source S/R Big Data Tools

PANDA is a comprehensive and flexib tool for quantitative proteomics data analysis, which is developed based on our solid foundations in quantitative proteomics for years. Several novelties have been implemented in it. First, we implement the advantage algorithms of LFQuant (Proteomics 2012, 12, (23-24), 3475-84) and SILVER (Bioinformatics 2014, 30, (4), 586-7) into PANDA. Second, we consider the state-of-art concept of quantification reliability in this quantitative workflow. On the levels of spectra, peptides and proteins, PANDA works out a few quantitative filters and new scores for quantification confidence. Third, PANDA is designed for processing proteomics big data in parallel.

I Ching offers an idea to summary the world by constructing functional mappings in finite groups. Much of ancient Chinese natural and social science grew from its concepts as root. The derived theories like "Eight Diagrams", "Five Elements" became the foundation of nearly all academic fields in acient Chinese. As a result, the theories are also the high concentration of many practical and statistical experience in China during her thousands-of-year history. This project tries to realize these algorithms with statistical programming. Overcoming the long span has important meanings. First, we can verify the validity of algorithm with big data. Second, we can put them into unprecedented wide application in the age of data. Third, the unique inspection of I Ching that linked "all the universe" open new eyes for us in thought and methodology about interdisciplinary use of data. This program is open-source for human. If you are interested in it, welcome to discuss and work together.
