Viral Identification with a Probabilistic algorithm (VIPR)

posted on 04/20/2010
VIPR (Viral Identification with a PRobabilistic algorithm) is a software tool for analyzing diagnostic microarrays. The VIPR algorithm is based on a Bayesian statistical framework and requires a training set of positive control hybridizations representing the desired diagnostic targets. The advantage of a probabilistic algorithm in this context is that the positive control data can be used to improve classification of unknown infections. VIPR version 2.0 also includes functionality for detecting recombinant viruses using a hidden Markov model.
Suggested Uses
Analyze diagnostic microarray data.
Advantages
VIPR offers improved prediction and accuracy over other available methods.
