fishertest_cpg: Perform Fisher Exact Test on Methylation Data.

In MethTargetedNGS: Perform Methylation Analysis on Next Generation Sequencing Data

Description

Fisher exact test is a test to calculate the statistical significance using contingency table. It was used to find the statistically significant differences in the methylation status of one particular CpG site between healthy and tumor sample. Contingency matrix was created for each CpG site. P-value was corrected for multiple testing using Benjamini-Hochberg method to calculate False Discovery Rate (FDR)

Usage

fishertest_cpg(healthy, tumor, plot = TRUE, main = "Fisher Exact Test")

Arguments

healthy	Matrix from methAlign. Also matrix where columns represents Cytosine of CpG sites and rows represents sequences.
tumor	Matrix from methAlign. Also matrix where columns represents Cytosine of CpG sites and rows represents sequences.
plot	Boolean. TRUE if need a plot after calculation. Default TRUE
main	Title of the plot. Default "Fisher Exact Test"

Value

Vector containing p-values.
