pratio {MBttest} | R Documentation

## Calculation of Psi(ψ)

### Description

Psi is also called polar ratio.

ψ = max(\frac{min(X_A)}{max(X_B)+1},\frac{min(X_B)}{max(X_A)+1})

.

### Usage

    pratio(xx, na, nb)

### Arguments

`xx` | count data of RNA reads generated by next generation sequencing.
`na` | number of replicate libraries in condition A.
`nb` | number of replicate libraries in condition B.

### Details

Psi is defined as

ψ = max(\frac{min(X_A)}{max(X_B)+1},\frac{min(X_B)}{max(X_A)+1})

It is used to measure overlap of two subdatasets. ψ>1, these two subdatasets have a gap, not overlap. ψ<1 indicates that two subdatasets overlap.
