Stat.nonpara {ELMER} | R Documentation

## U test (non parameter test) for permutation. This is one probe vs nearby gene which is good for computing each probes for nearby genes.

### Description

U test (non parameter test) for permutation. This is one probe vs nearby gene which is good for computing each probes for nearby genes.

### Usage

    Stat.nonpara(Probe, NearGenes, Top = NULL, correlation = "negative",
      unmethy = NULL, methy = NULL, Meths = Meths, Exps = Exps)

### Arguments

`Probe` | A character of name of Probe in array.
`NearGenes` | A list of nearby gene for each probe which is output of GetNearGenes function.
`Top` | A number determines the percentage of top methylated/unmethylated samples. Only used if unmethy and methy are not set.
`correlation` | Type of correlation to evaluate (negative or positive). Negative (default) checks if hypomethylated region has a upregulated target gene. Positive checks if region hypermethylated has a upregulated target gene.
`unmethy` | Index of U (unmethylated) group.
`methy` | Index of M (methylated) group.
`Meths` | A matrix contains methylation for each probe (row) and each sample (column).
`Exps` | A matrix contains Expression for each gene (row) and each sample (column).

### Value

U test results
