Viral Identification with a Probabilistic algorithm (VIPR)

Washington University in St. Louis
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.
