analyze_dep(se, type = c("all", "control", "manual"), control = NULL,
  alpha = 0.05, lfc = 1, test = NULL, design_formula = formula(~0 +
  condition))

Arguments

se

SummarizedExperiment, Proteomics data with unique names and identifiers annotated in 'name' and 'ID' columns. Additionally, the colData should contain sample annotation including 'label', 'condition' and 'replicate' columns. The appropriate columns and objects can be generated using make_se or make_se_parse.

type

"all", "control" or "manual", The type of contrasts that will be tested. This can be all possible pairwise comparisons ("all"), limited to the comparisons versus the control ("control"), or manually defined contrasts ("manual").

control

Character(1), The condition to which contrasts are generated (a control condition would be most appropriate).

alpha

Numeric(1), Sets the threshold for the adjusted P value.

lfc

Numeric(1), Sets the threshold for the log2 fold change.

test

Character, The contrasts that will be tested if type = "manual". These should be formatted as "SampleA_vs_SampleB" or c("SampleA_vs_SampleC", "SampleB_vs_SampleC").

design_formula

Formula, Used to create the design matrix.

Value

A SummarizedExperiment object containing FDR estimates of differential expression and logical columns indicating significant proteins.
