getConcordance {MAST} | R Documentation

## Get the concordance between two experiments

### Description

Return the concordance between two assays (i.e. single cell and hundred cell). The "average" of `singleCellRef` (after adjusting for the number of cells) and `singleCellComp` are taken per gene, per `groups`. A `data.frame` with one row per gene-`groups` is returned with some additional columns.

### Usage

    getConcordance(singleCellRef, singleCellcomp, groups = NULL,
      fun.natural = expavg, fun.cycle = logmean)

    getwss(concord, nexp)

    getss(concord)

    getrc(concord)

### Arguments

`singleCellRef` | "reference" SingleCellAssay
`singleCellcomp` | "comparison" SingleCellAssay
`groups` | character vector giving variable(s) on which the comparison is conditioned
`fun.natural` | function to transform the SingleCellAssays to a mRNA proportional level
`fun.cycle` | inverse function of fun.natural
`concord` | data.frame returned by getConcordance
`nexp` | number of expressed cells per row in `concord`

### Value

concordance between two assays

### Functions

- `getwss`: getrc the sum of squares, weighted by nexp

- `getss`: return the sum of squares

- `getrc`: Return Lin's (1989) concordance correlation coefficient
