  value: 10.32614/CRAN.package.CytoMDS
abstract: This package implements a low dimensional visualization of a set of cytometry
  samples, in order to visually assess the 'distances' between them. This, in turn,
  can greatly help the user to identify quality issues like batch effects or outlier
  samples, and/or check the presence of potential sample clusters that might align
  with the exeprimental design. The CytoMDS algorithm combines, on the one hand, the
  concept of Earth Mover's Distance (EMD), a.k.a. Wasserstein metric and, on the other
  hand, the Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS) algorithm for the low dimensional projection.
  Also, the package provides some diagnostic tools for both checking the quality of
  the MDS projection, as well as tools to help with the interpretation of the axes
  of the projection.
