BDselect: a package for k-mer selection based on binomial distribution

A feature ranking tool based on binomial distribution

Binomial distribution is one of the wonderful feature selection techniques that have been successfully applied in many works. For the convenience of researchers, a feature ranking tool based on binomial distribution was developed.

1.Installation：

Download： github environment(recommend python3.8):

pip3 install -r requirements.txt 

2. parameters:

|parameters|description|

|-k |the number of kmer| |-t |type of sequence (require:DNA ,RNA or protein)|
|-f |the path of sequencefile|

3.Example

python3 BinomialDistribution.py -k 2 -t DNA -f C:\Users\DNASeqfile
or
BinomialDistribution.exe -k 2 -t DNA -f C:\Users\DNASeqfile

4.Result

|file name|description| |feature.csv | the csv feature file before sorting by BD| |BDSortedfeature.csv | the csv feature file after sorting by BD| |BinomialDistributionCL.txt | rank file| |clresult.txt | the detail of CL values|
