devel is the development version; release is the current stable one.

3.24 (devel), 3.23 (release)

The speckle package contains functions for the analysis of single cell RNA-seq data. The speckle package currently contains functions to analyse differences in cell type proportions. There are also functions to estimate the parameters of the Beta distribution based on a given counts matrix, and a function to normalise a counts matrix to the median library size. There are plotting functions to visualise cell type proportions and the mean-variance relationship in cell type proportions and counts. As our research into specialised analyses of single cell data continues we anticipate that the package will be updated with new functions.
