## debCAM: A package for fully unsupervised deconvolution of complex tissues.

### Description

The core function in this package is `CAM` which achieves fully unsupervised deconvolution on mixture expression profiles. Each step in `CAM` can also be performed separately by `CAMPrep`, `CAMMGCluster` and `CAMASest` in a more flexible workflow. `MGstatistic` can help extract a complete marker list from CAM results. `MDL` can help decide the underlying subpopulation number. With other functions, e.g. `AfromMarkers` and `MGstatistic`, this package can also perform supervised deconvolution based on prior knowledge of molecular markers, subpopulation-specific expression matrix (S) or proportion matrix (A). Semi-supervised deconvolution can be achieved by combining molecular markers from CAM and from prior knowledge to analyze mixture expressions.
