Batch Effect Correction Tools

Variability in datasets not only results from biological processes, but also from technical bias [Lander1999]. InMoose offers a collection of tools for the correction of such technical bias, also called batch effects.

Please refer to [Behdenna2023] for a detailed comparison of InMoose implementation with the original R implementations.
