Harman

This is the development version of Harman; for the stable release version, see Harman.

The removal of batch effects from datasets using a PCA and constrained optimisation based technique


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

Harman is a PCA and constrained optimisation based technique that maximises the removal of batch effects from datasets, with the constraint that the probability of overcorrection (i.e. removing genuine biological signal along with batch noise) is kept to a fraction which is set by the end-user.
