title: 'BatchVaria: Variance-Aware Evaluation of Batch Correction'
version: 0.99.2
doi: 10.64898/2026.05.07.721996
abstract: Evaluates batch correction in omics data by quantifying how a correction
  redistributes variance, not only whether it removes it. Records correction and variance-decomposition
  provenance in the metadata of an ordinary SummarizedExperiment, and harmonises both
  the batch correction methods and the variance-profiling engines behind documented
  contracts, so that either set can be extended without modifying the package. Variance
  fractions are compositional, so removing variance associated with one term inflates
  the fraction attributed to every other. Each decomposition is therefore recorded
  alongside the total variance it is relative to and the share an unbalanced design
  cannot attribute to any single term, which is what distinguishes a correction that
  removed unwanted variation from one that merely removed variation.
