Usage

diffacto.py [-h] -i I [-db [DB]] [-samples [SAMPLES]] [-log2 LOG2]
                     [-normalize {average,median,GMM,None}]
                     [-farms_mu FARMS_MU] [-farms_alpha FARMS_ALPHA]
                     [-reference REFERENCE] [-min_samples MIN_SAMPLES]
                     [-use_unique USE_UNIQUE]
                     [-impute_threshold IMPUTE_THRESHOLD]
                     [-cutoff_weight CUTOFF_WEIGHT] [-fast FAST] [-out OUT]
                     [-mc_out MC_OUT]
optional arguments:
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
-i I                  Peptides abundances in CSV format. The first row
                      should contain names for all samples. The first column
                      should contain unique peptide sequences. Missing
                      values should be empty instead of zeros. (default:
                      None)
-db [DB]              Protein database in FASTA format. If None, the peptide
                      file must have protein ID(s) in the second column.
                      (default: None)
-samples [SAMPLES]    File of the sample list. One run and its sample group
                      per line, separated by tab. If None, read from peptide
                      file headings, then each run will be summarized as a
                      group. (default: None)
-log2 LOG2            Input abundances are in log scale (True) or linear
                      scale (False) (default: False)
-normalize {average,median,GMM,None}
                      Method for sample-wise normalization. (default: None)
-farms_mu FARMS_MU    Hyperparameter mu (default: 0.1)
-farms_alpha FARMS_ALPHA
                      Hyperparameter weight of prior probability (default:
                      0.1)
-reference REFERENCE  Names of reference sample groups (separated by
                      semicolon) (default: average)
-min_samples MIN_SAMPLES
                      Minimum number of samples peptides needed to be
                      quantified in (default: 1)
-use_unique USE_UNIQUE
                      Use unique peptides only (default: False)
-impute_threshold IMPUTE_THRESHOLD
                      Minimum fraction of missing values in the group.
                      Impute missing values if missing fraction is larger
                      than the threshold. (default: 0.99)
-cutoff_weight CUTOFF_WEIGHT
                      Peptides weighted lower than the cutoff will be
                      excluded (default: 0.5)
-fast FAST            Allow early termination in EM calculation when noise
                      is sufficiently small. (default: False)
-out OUT              Path to output file (writing in TSV format).
-mc_out MC_OUT        Path to MCFDR output (writing in TSV format).
                      (default: None)
