Description: Mass cytometry enables the simultaneous measurement of
        dozens of protein markers at the single-cell level, producing
        high dimensional datasets that provide deep insights into
        cellular heterogeneity and function. However, these datasets
        often contain unwanted covariance introduced by technical
        variations, such as differences in cell size, staining
        efficiency, and instrument-specific artifacts, which can
        obscure biological signals and complicate downstream analysis.
        This package addresses this challenge by implementing a robust
        framework of linear models designed to identify and remove
        these sources of unwanted covariance. By systematically
        modeling and correcting for technical noise, the package
        enhances the quality and interpretability of mass cytometry
        data, enabling researchers to focus on biologically relevant
        signals.
