getTopGeneSets {HTSanalyzeR} | R Documentation

## Select top significant gene sets from GSEA results

### Description

This is a generic function.

When implemented as the S4 method of class `GSCA`, this function selects top significant gene sets from GSEA results for user-specified gene collections. If 'ntop' is given, then top 'ntop' significant gene sets in gene set collections 'gscs' will be selected and their names will be returned. If 'allSig=TRUE', then all significant (adjusted p-value < 'pValueCutoff' see help("analyze")) gene sets will be selected and their names will be returned.

To use this function for objects of class `GSCA`:

getTopGeneSets(object, resultName, gscs, ntop=NULL, allSig=FALSE)

### Usage

    getTopGeneSets(object, ...)

### Arguments

`object` | an object. When this function is implemented as the S4 method of class `GSCA`, this argument is an object of class `GSCA`.
`...` | other arguments (see below for the arguments supported by the method of class `GSCA`)

resultName:

  a single character value: 'HyperGeo.results' or 'GSEA.results'

gscs:

  a character vector specifying the names of gene set collections from which the top significant gene sets will be selected

ntop:

  a single integer or numeric value specifying to select how many gene sets of top significance.

allSig:

  a single logical value. If 'TRUE', all significant gene sets (GSEA adjusted p-value < 'pValueCutoff' of slot 'para') will be selected; otherwise, only top 'ntop' gene sets will be selected.

### Value

a list of character vectors, each of which contains the names of top significant gene sets for each gene set collection
