This is the development version of Fancy; to use it, please install the devel version of Bioconductor.

Frequency and Nonlinear Correlation Hybrid Network Inference


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

Infers microbial co-abundance networks by combining mutual information (via MRNET) and distance correlation into a single hybrid edge score. Bootstrap resampling provides frequency-based confidence, and a weighted scoring function ranks edges for downstream module analysis. Designed for metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) count tables.
