Description: Subgroup classification is a basic task in genomic data
        analysis, especially for gene expression and DNA methylation
        data analysis. It can also be used to test the agreement to
        known clinical annotations, or to test whether there exist
        significant batch effects. The cola package provides a general
        framework for subgroup classification by consensus
        partitioning. It has the following features: 1. It modularizes
        the consensus partitioning processes that various methods can
        be easily integrated. 2. It provides rich visualizations for
        interpreting the results. 3. It allows running multiple methods
        at the same time and provides functionalities to
        straightforward compare results. 4. It provides a new method to
        extract features which are more efficient to separate
        subgroups. 5. It automatically generates detailed reports for
        the complete analysis. 6. It allows applying consensus
        partitioning in a hierarchical manner.
