Conformal Inference for Cell Type Annotation
Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 1.1.1
Builds prediction interval for cell type annotation using conformal inference and conformal risk control. It provides two main methods. The first one gives prediction intervals with coverage guarantees based on standard conformal inference. The second one instead gives hierarchical prediction intervals that are consistent with the cell ontology.
