PlotTopPCOPA {coGPS} | R Documentation

## Plot expression patterns of top ranked genes.

### Description

It first sorts the expression value exprslist[[i]]\$exprs[j,] among the baseline samples(e.g. normal ones) and comparison group (e.g. tumor ones)seperately for selected gene j, and then plot the sorted expression values. The first argument exprslist should be the same one as for PCOPA; the second argument PCOPAresult should be an output of PCOPA; the third argument topcut determines how far we would go down the top ranked list; and the last argument typelist is a vector specifying the titles for each graph corresponds to a specific study.

### Usage

    PlotTopPCOPA(exprslist, PCOPAresult, topcut, typelist)

### Arguments

`exprslist` | Each element of exprslist is a list with the first element being exprs and the second element being classlab. Each row of exprs represents one gene and each column represents one sample. classlab is a zero-one vector indicating the status of samples. We use 0 for the baseline group, usually the normal group, and 1 for the comparison group, usually the tumor group.
`PCOPAresult` | Output of PCOPA.
`topcut` | Cutoff of top ranked gene list.
`typelist` | A vector specifying the titles for each graph corresponds to a specific study.
