adjBaseOlig.error.step1: Evaluates LPE variance function of M for quantiles of A...

In LPEadj: A correction of the local pooled error (LPE) method to replace the asymptotic variance adjustment with an unbiased adjustment based on sample size.

Description

Genes are placed in bins/quantiles according to their average expression intensity. The function adjBaseOlig.error calculates a pooled variance of M for genes within these bins/quantiles of A for the replicates of the experimental condition contained in y. Here the assumption is that variance of the genes in each interval is similar.

Usage

  adjBaseOlig.error.step1(y, stats=median, setMax=FALSE, q=0.01, df=10)

Arguments

y	y is a preprocessed matrix or data frame of expression intensities in which columns are expression intensities for a particular experimental condition and rows are genes.
stats	It determines whether mean or median is to be used for the replicates
setMax	If T then all variances below the max variance in the ordered distribution of variances are set to the maximum variance. If F then variances are left as is (recommended)
q	q is the quantile width; q=0.01 corresponds to 100 quantiles i.e. percentiles. Bins/quantiles have equal number of genes and are split according to the average intensity A.
df	df stands for degrees of freedom. It is used in smooth.spline function to interpolate the variances of all genes. Default value is 10.

Value

Returns object of class baseOlig, comprising a data frame with 2 columns: A and var M. The A column contains the median values of each gene and the M columns contains the corresponding variance. Number of rows of the data-frame is same as that of the number of genes.
