## diffuStats: an R package to compute and benchmark diffusion scores

### Description

The `diffuStats` package consists of (i) functions to compute graph kernels, see `kernels`, (ii) the function `diffuse` to compute the diffusion scores and (iii) the function `perf_eval` and its wrapper `perf` to compute performance measures. The user can find two vignettes in `browseVignettes("diffuStats")`: (1) a quick start with concise examples and (2) a detailed explanation of the implemented methods with a practical case study using a yeast protein dataset.
