Description

The function calculates a score for each gene with a given FDR from the fitted beta-uniform mixture model.

Usage

1
scoreFunction(fb, fdr=0.01)

Arguments

fb

Model from the beta-uniform mixture fitting.

fdr

Numeric constant, from the false discovery rate a p-value threshold is calculated. P-values below this threshold are considered to be significant and will score positively, p-values a bove the threshold are supposed to arise from the null model. The FDR can be used to control the size of the maximum scoring subnetwork, by zooming in and out in the same region.

Value

Score vector for the given p-values.
