sig.mask {OLIN} | R Documentation

## Masking of data based on significance testing

### Description

This function sets data to NA if the corresponding spots have significantly biased neighbourhoods on the intensity scale or on the spatial dimensions of the array.

### Usage

    sig.mask(object,Sp,Sn,thrp,thrn)

### Arguments

`object` | object of class `marrayRaw` or `marrrayNorm`
`Sp` | list of vectors of false discovery rate or p-values for positive deviation of median/mean of \code{M} as produced by `fdr.int2, p.int2, fdr.spatial2` or `p.spatial2`.
`Sn` | list vector of false discovery rate or p-values for negative deviation of median/mean of \code{M} as produced by `fdr.int2, p.int2, fdr.spatial2` or `p.spatial2`.
`thrp` | vector of thresholds for significance of positive deviation (`Sp`)
`thrn` | vector of thresholds for significance of negative deviation (`Sn`)

### Details

This function can be used for the masking of data that has been decided to be unrelaible after the application of significance test for intenstiy- and location dependent dye bias (e.g. `p.int2, fdr.int2, p.spatial2, fdr.spatial2`).
