design |
numeric matrix (optional argument) giving the design matrix for the GLM that is to be fit. Must be of full column rank. If provided |
prior.df |
numeric scalar giving the weight, in terms of prior degrees of freedom, to be given to the common parameter likelihood when estimating genewise dispersion estimates. |
When estimating genewise dispersion values using estimateTagwiseDisp
or estimateGLMTagwiseDisp
we need to decide how much weight to give to the common parameter likelihood in order to smooth (or stabilize) the dispersion estimates. The best choice of value for the prior.n
parameter varies between datasets depending on the number of samples in the dataset and the complexity of the model to be fit. The value of prior.n
should be inversely proportional to the residual degrees of freedom. We have found that choosing a value for prior.n
that is equivalent to giving the common parameter likelihood 20 degrees of freedom generally gives a good amount of smoothing for the genewise dispersion estimates. This function simply recommends an appropriate value for prior.n
—to be used as an argument for estimateTagwiseDisp
or estimateGLMTagwiseDisp
—given the experimental design at hand and the chosen prior degrees of freedom.
