Analysis of large data sets is currently a major challenge. Strong efforts are being undertaken to tackle this problem by developing new methods or modifying existing ones. The Z association method is a new method for describing directional association in contingency tables. It allows to arbitrarily group categories for each of the two variables, for which the contingency table is analyzed. The Z coefficient was calculated on a sample data set with gene mutations in different cancer types. Results showed some association with both gene mutations and annotation groups. Detailed results obtained for particular cancer types versus particular genes and annotation groups were in line with well-known facts in cancer genomics. The "MEUSassociation" R library allows to analyze the directional association between two categorical variables, and the mutual relationship is summarized in a contingency table, by means of the Z association coefficient. The method implemented in the library allows to compute the standard Z coefficient and to apply it in a case, where all possible singular coefficients Z(A:B) are computed at the same time, giving information of association between particular rows and columns. Investigating the ranked list of the highest singular coefficients allows to reduce the complexity of a large-scale data set. Both the Z coefficient and its R implementation are important tools in categorical data analysis.

A web-based hosting service for software development projects that use the Git revision control system offering powerful collaboration, code review, and code management. It offers both paid plans for private repositories, and free accounts for open source projects. Large or small, every repository comes with the same powerful tools. These tools are open to the community for public projects and secure for private projects. Features include: * Integrated issue tracking * Collaborative code review * Easily manage teams within organizations * Text entry with understated power * A growing list of programming languages and data formats * On the desktop and in your pocket - Android app and mobile web views let you keep track of your projects on the go.

In particular, gene catalogs in completely sequenced genomes are linked to higher-level systemic functions of cell, organism, and ecosystem. Analysis tools are also available. KEGG may be used as reference knowledge base for biological interpretation of large-scale datasets generated by sequencing and other high-throughput experimental technologies.
