avg_probe_exp {multiClust} | R Documentation

## Function to produce a matrix containing the average expression of each gene probe within each sample cluster.

### Description

Function to produce a matrix containing the average expression of each gene probe within each sample cluster.

### Usage

    avg_probe_exp(sel.exp, samp_cluster, data_name, cluster_type = "HClust",
      distance = "euclidean", linkage_type = "ward.D2",
      probe_rank = "SD_Rank", probe_num_selection = "Fixed_Probe_Num",
      cluster_num_selection = "Fixed_Clust_Num")

### Arguments

`sel.exp` | Object containing the numeric selected gene expression matrix. This object is an output of the probe_ranking function.
`samp_cluster` | Object vector containing the samples and the cluster number they belong to. This is an output of the cluster_analysis function.
`data_name` | String indicating the cancer type and name of the dataset being analyzed. This name will be used to label the sample dendrograms and heatmap files.
`cluster_type` | String indicating the type of clustering method used in the cluster_analysis function. "Kmeans" or "HClust" are the two options.
`distance` | String describing the distance metric uses for HClust in the cluster_analysis function. Options include one of "euclidean", "maximum", manhattan", "canberra", "binary", or "minkowski".
`linkage_type` | String describing the linkage metric used in the cluster_analysis function. Options include "ward.D2", "average", "complete", "median", "centroid", "single", and "mcquitty".
`probe_rank` | String indicating the feature selection method used in the probe_ranking function. Options include "CV_Rank", "CV_Guided", "SD_Rank", and "Poly".
`probe_num_selection` | String indicating the way in which probes were selected in the number_probes function. Options include "Fixed_Probe_Num", "Percent_Probe_Num", and "Adaptive_Probe_Num".
`cluster_num_selection` | String indicating how the number of clusters were determined in the number_clusters function. Options include "Fixed_Clust_Num" and "Gap_Statistic".

### Value

Returns an object matrix with the average mean expression for each probe in each sample cluster. Also outputs the object to a text file.
