standard inverse average expression
iae(expr, features = NULL, thres = 0)
a matrix, features in row and cells in column
vector, feature names or indexes to compute
numeric, cell only counts when expr > threshold, default 0
a vector of inverse average expression score for each feature
$$\mathbf{IAE_i} = log(1+\frac{n}{\hat N_{i,j}+1})$$ where \(n\) is the total number of cells, \(N_{i,j}\) is the counts of feature \(i\) in cell \(j\).
