Spatial quantile normalization

Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 1.25.0

The spqn package implements spatial quantile normalization (SpQN). This method was developed to remove a mean-correlation relationship in correlation matrices built from gene expression data. It can serve as pre-processing step prior to a co-expression analysis.
