promise.pattern: PROMISE pattern

In PROMISE: PRojection Onto the Most Interesting Statistical Evidence

Description

PROMISE pattern is a data frame of association pattern definition, consisting of three columns.

Format

PROMISE pattern: The column names must be stat.coef, stat.func, and endpt.vars.

stat.coef column gives the coefficients for combining the statistics of association of genomic variable with individual endpoint variable into the ultimate PROMISE statistic.

stat.func column gives the name of the R routine that computes the test statistic of association of the endpoint variables. Two R routines (jung.rstat and spearman.rstat)are provided in current release. Users can provide their own routine accordingly.

endpt.vars column gives the name(s) of variable(s) in the endpoint data frame needed to compute each term of the PROMISE statistic. If more than one variables involve in one term, they should be separated by a comma without space.
