## DECO: DEcomposing heterogeneous Cohorts from Omic profiling.

### Description

DECO integrates a two-step methodology to find out outlier behavior of features which could determine a new subclass of samples. Thus, a subsampling method with LIMMA (Stratified Differential Analysis or RDA) will be applied to a omic matrix data, previously normalized. After that, Non-Symmetrical Correspondence Analysis (NSCA) will be computed on frequency matrix of differential events generated by subsampling.

The feature-sample relationships will define stratified profiles with statistical significance. Any new subclass defined could be associated to hidden phenotypic variables.
