filterNoisyCurves {PharmacoGx} | R Documentation

## Viability measurements in dose-reponse curves must remain stable or decrease monotonically reflecting response to the drug being tested. filterNoisyCurves flags dose-response curves that strongly violate these assumptions.

### Description

Viability measurements in dose-reponse curves must remain stable or decrease monotonically reflecting response to the drug being tested. filterNoisyCurves flags dose-response curves that strongly violate these assumptions.

### Usage

    filterNoisyCurves(pSet, epsilon = 25, positive.cutoff.percent = 0.8,
      mean.viablity = 200, nthread = 1)

### Arguments

`pSet` | [PharmacoSet] a PharmacoSet object
`epsilon` | [numeric] a value indicates assumed threshold for the distance between to consecutive viability values on the drug-response curve in the analysis, out of dna, rna, rnaseq, snp, cnv
`positive.cutoff.percent` | [numeric] This value indicates that function may violate epsilon rule for how many points on drug-response curve
`mean.viablity` | [numeric] average expected viability value
`nthread` | [numeric] if multiple cores are available, how many cores should the computation be parallelized over?

### Value

a list with two elements 'noisy' containing the rownames of the noisy curves, and 'ok' containing the rownames of the non-noisy curves
