Possible Issue in DeconomiX Tutorial and Normalization Question

Hello

I have just reviewed the tutorial and source code for DeconomiX and believe I may have found a small issue. On your website at https://deconomix.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/, in the "Getting started using Python" section, the tutorial demonstrates ADTD and uses the line:

model1 = DeconomiX.methods.DTD(X_ref, Y_mat, C_mat)

However, this results in an error, as DeconomiX is written with a capital "D" and "X", whereas the module is actually lowercase and not recognized otherwise.

Additionally, I was wondering why the matrices are not normalized before calling methods.DTD in the tutorial. I understand that ADTD performs internal normalization, but is there a specific reason why normalization is omitted in the example before calling DTD?

Best regards, Sergej Ruff
