pvclustModule: Search enriched functional gene modules by pvclust

In PANR: Posterior association networks and functional modules inferred from rich phenotypes of gene perturbations

Description

The function employs the R package pvclust to search significant functional gene modules using hierarchical clustering with bootstrap resampling.

Usage

pvclustModule(object, nboot=1000, metric="cosine", hclustMethod="average",
filter=TRUE, verbose=TRUE, ...)

Arguments

object	an object of S4 class PAN.
nboot	a numeric value giving the number of bootstraps for pvclust.
metric	a character value specifying which distance metric to use for the hierarchical clustering: 'correlation', 'cosine', 'abscor' or those allowed by the argument 'method' in dist.
hclustMethod	the agglomerative method used in hierarchical clustering: 'average', 'ward', 'single', 'complete', 'mcquitty', 'median' or 'centroid' (see the argument method in hclust for more details).
filter	a logical value specifying whether or not to filter out screening data of genes without significant associations with all the other genes.
verbose	a logical value to switch on (if TRUE) or off if FALSE detailed run-time message.
...	all the other arguments accepted by the function pvclust.

Details

This function performs hierarchical clustering with bootstrap resampling to quantify significance of gene clusters (modules) based on the package pvclust.

Value

This function will return an object of class PAN with inferred gene modules (modules$clusters) and corresponding p-values (modules$pval) updated in slot 'modules'.
