R Documentation

Getting leading-edge indices from a vector

Description

Getting leading-edge indices from a vector

Usage

getLeadingEdgeIndexFromVector(
  x,
  index,
  comparison = c("greater", "less"),
  reference = c("background", "geneset")
)

getLeadingEdgeIndexFromMatrix(
  x,
  index,
  comparison = c("greater", "less"),
  reference = c("background", "geneset")
)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector (getLeadingEdgeIndexFromVector) or a numeric matrix (getLeadingEdgeIndexFromMatrix).
index	An integer vector, indicating the indices of genes in a gene-set.
comparison	Character string, are values greater than or less than the reference value considered as leading-edge? This depends on the type of value requested by the user in wmwTest.
reference	Character string, which reference is used? If background, genes with expression higher than the median of the background are reported. Otherwise in the case of geneset, genes with expression higher than the median of the gene-set is reported. Default is background, which is consistent with the results of the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests.

Value

An integer vector, indicating the indices of leading-edge genes.

Functions

• getLeadingEdgeIndexFromMatrix: x is a matrix.

Examples

myProfile <- c(rnorm(5, 3), rnorm(15, -3), rnorm(100, 0))
getLeadingEdgeIndexFromVector(myProfile, 1:20)
getLeadingEdgeIndexFromVector(myProfile, 1:20, comparison="less")
getLeadingEdgeIndexFromVector(myProfile, 1:20, comparison="less", reference="geneset")
myProfile2 <- c(rnorm(15, 3), rnorm(5, -3), rnorm(100, 0))
myProfileMat <- cbind(myProfile, myProfile2)
getLeadingEdgeIndexFromMatrix(myProfileMat, 1:20)
getLeadingEdgeIndexFromMatrix(myProfileMat, 1:20, comparison="less")
getLeadingEdgeIndexFromMatrix(myProfileMat, 1:20, comparison="less", reference="geneset")
