Description

It estimates the spot location statistics by fluorescence signal in each channel. Then, it integrates the channel-specific data into a single estimate

spotCoords(centerR, centerG, origImg, chaImgs, minDiff, despeckle,
  ImgLimits, BFarea, chip.type, separator, image.type,
  show.possible.contamination)

Arguments

centerR

Data matrix. The location statistics of one channel.

centerG

Data matrix. The location statistics of the other channel.

origImg

Data matrix. The original BF image to be read and processed.

chaImgs

List. A list of the red and green channel images (data matrices) of a sample

minDiff

Float. the mu_hat of the H0: image-to-noise ratio = log(foreground_signal) - log(background_signal) = mu_hat. Rejection of H0 implies that the identified spot is brighter than background. Default is 0.5.

despeckle

Logical. If TRUE, the BF image is descpeckled.

ImgLimits

Integer. It instructs the algorithm to find spots in a certain central image area. For example, for a 512 x 512 image with ImgLimits = 50, it will search for spots in the central area [ImgLimits:(512-ImgLimits),ImgLimits:(512-ImgLimits)] of the image matrix.

BFarea

Integer. Defines a rectangular pseudo-spot size whose fluorescence will be estimated.

separator

Character string. Removes the Bright Field ("BF") and channel indicators from the image file names.

image.type

Character string. A triplet of IDs to characterize the type of images under study. They refer to the ImageType part of the original image or txt file names.

show.possible.contamination

Logical. If TRUE it reports all identified unmatched spots in both channels.

type

Character string. It specifies the type of Fluidigm chip to be analyzed.

Value

Location statistics under fluorescence-based estimation
