Single-Cell Exploratory Compositional Data Analysis


Bioconductor version: Release (3.23)

The scECODA R package provides a complete workflow for the analysis and visualization of compositional data, primarily focusing on cell type proportions derived from single-cell data. It implements specialized methods, such as the Centered Log-Ratio (CLR) transformation, to properly analyze proportional data while avoiding the biases introduced by the compositional constraint. The package encapsulates data management, transformation, and analysis into a single SummarizedExperiment object, offering downstream tools for dimensionality reduction via PCA, calculating critical metrics like the Adjusted Rand Index (ARI) and Modularity to quantify sample grouping quality, and generating high-quality visualizations like heatmaps and scatter plots.
