solve.Pearson: Run the Pearson Solver

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

Description

Given a TReNA object with Pearson as the solver, use the cor function to estimate coefficients for each transcription factor as a perdictor of the target gene's expression level. This method should be called using the solve method on an appropriate TReNA object.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'PearsonSolver'
run(obj, target.gene, tfs, tf.weights = rep(1,
  length(tfs)), extraArgs = list())

Arguments

obj

An object of class Solver with "pearson" as the solver string

target.gene

A designated target gene that should be part of the mtx.assay data

tfs

The designated set of transcription factors that could be associated with the target gene.

tf.weights

A set of weights on the transcription factors (default = rep(1, length(tfs)))

extraArgs

Modifiers to the Pearson solver

Value

The set of Pearson Correlation Coefficients between each transcription factor and the target gene.
