ScVI is a variational inference model for single-cell RNA-seq data that can learn an underlying
latent space, integrate technical batches and impute dropouts.
The learned low-dimensional latent representation of the data can be used for visualization and
clustering.

scVI takes as input a scRNA-seq gene expression matrix with cells and genes.
We provide an extensive [user guide](https://docs.scvi-tools.org/en/1.2.0/user_guide/models/scvi.html).

- See our original manuscript for further details of the model:
[scVI manuscript](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41592-018-0229-2).
- See our manuscript on [scvi-hub](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.03.01.582887v2) how
to leverage pre-trained models.

This model can be used for fine tuning on new data using our Arches framework:
[Arches tutorial](https://docs.scvi-tools.org/en/1.0.0/tutorials/notebooks/scarches_scvi_tools.html).


# Model Description

Tabula Sapiens is a benchmark, first-draft human cell atlas of nearly 500,000 cells from 24 organs of 15 normal human subjects.

# Metrics

We provide here key performance metrics for the uploaded model, if provided by the data uploader.

<details>
<summary><strong>Coefficient of variation</strong></summary>

The cell-wise coefficient of variation summarizes how well variation between different cells is
preserved by the generated model expression. Below a squared Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.4
, we would recommend not to use generated data for downstream analysis, while the generated latent
space might still be useful for analysis.

**Cell-wise Coefficient of Variation**:

| Metric                  | Training Value | Validation Value |
|-------------------------|----------------|------------------|
| Mean Absolute Error | 2.39  | 2.45           |
| Pearson Correlation | 0.84  | 0.81  |
| Spearman Correlation | 0.86 | 0.84  |
| R² (R-Squared) | 0.52  | 0.49      |

The gene-wise coefficient of variation summarizes how well variation between different genes is
preserved by the generated model expression. This value is usually quite high.

**Gene-wise Coefficient of Variation**:

| Metric                  | Training Value |
|-------------------------|----------------|
| Mean Absolute Error | 13.48   |
| Pearson Correlation | 0.59  |
| Spearman Correlation | 0.66 |
| R² (R-Squared) | -1.49  |

<details>
<summary><strong>Differential expression metric</strong></summary>

The differential expression metric provides a summary of the differential expression analysis
between cell types or input clusters. We provide here the F1-score, Pearson Correlation
Coefficient of Log-Foldchanges, Spearman Correlation Coefficient, and Area Under the Precision
Recall Curve (AUPRC) for the differential expression analysis using Wilcoxon Rank Sum test for each
cell-type.
