How to cite the Bioconductor package farms

farms is a popular Bioconductor package that is available at https://bioconductor.org/packages/farms. By citing R packages in your paper you lay the grounds for others to be able to reproduce your analysis and secondly you are acknowledging the time and work people have spent creating the package.

APA citation

Formatted according to the APA Publication Manual 7th edition. Simply copy it to the References page as is.

APA

The minimal requirement is to cite the R package in text along with the version number. Additionally, you can include the reference list entry the authors of the farms package have suggested.

Example of an in-text citation

Analysis of the data was done using the farms package (v1.42.0; Hochreiter et al., 2006).

  abstract  = "MOTIVATION: We propose a new model-based technique for
               summarizing high-density oligonucleotide array data at probe
               level for Affymetrix GeneChips. The new summarization method is
               based on a factor analysis model for which a Bayesian maximum a
               posteriori method optimizes the model parameters under the
               assumption of Gaussian measurement noise. Thereafter, the RNA
               concentration is estimated from the model. In contrast to
               previous methods our new method called 'Factor Analysis for
               Robust Microarray Summarization (FARMS)' supplies both P-values
               indicating interesting information and signal intensity values.
               RESULTS: We compare FARMS on Affymetrix's spike-in and Gene
               Logic's dilution data to established algorithms like Affymetrix
               Microarray Suite (MAS) 5.0, Model Based Expression Index (MBEI),
               Robust Multi-array Average (RMA). Further, we compared FARMS
               with 43 other methods via the 'Affycomp II' competition. The
               experimental results show that FARMS with default parameters
               outperforms previous methods if both sensitivity and specificity
               are simultaneously considered by the area under the receiver
               operating curve (AUC). We measured two quantities through the
               AUC: correctly detected expression changes versus wrongly
               detected (fold change) and correctly detected significantly
               different expressed genes in two sets of arrays versus wrongly
               detected (P-value). Furthermore FARMS is computationally less
               expensive then RMA, MAS and MBEI. AVAILABILITY: The FARMS R
