Network diffusion algorithms in R.

diffusr implements several algorithms for network diffusion such as Markov random walks with restarts and weighted neighbor classification. Network diffusion has been studied extensively in bioinformatics, e.g. in the field of cancer gene prioritization. To my knowledge only few packages implement all of the diffusion algorithms. In the first version of diffusr I implemented the two methods above, several others will follow in future patches.

Install diffusr using:

devtools::install_github("dirmeier/diffusr") 

from the R-console.

Load the package using library(diffusr). We provide a vignette for the package that can be called using: vignette("diffusr"). Basically that is all you have to know.
