Description

This function is used to estimate parameters P and V by optimalizing estimation of parameters: alpha and beta.

Usage

1

Arguments

X

count dataset derived from m replicate libraries in one condition.

NX

vector of m library sizes. Library size is sum of counts over the whole library.

Details

Count data of RNA reads are assumed to follow binomial distribution with parameters (P) and (V), while P is assumed to follow beta distribution with parameters alpha (a) and beta(b). Parameters P and V are estimated by optimal estimation of parameters a and b. The optimal method is an iteration method drived by weighting proportion of gene or isoform in each replicate library. This is a large-scale method for estimating these parameters. Estimation of parameters P and V is core of the multiple beta t-test method because P and V will be used to calculate t-value.

Value

return a list:

P

N proportions estimated.

V

N variances estimated.

Note

betaparametVP requres functions betaparametab and betaparametw.
