Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also

Function to calculate z-score from a normal distribution from a two-tailed p-value and sign vector (e.g. log2 fold change). To avoid -Inf/Inf z-scores, p-values < 'limit' are set to 'limit'.

1	zScores(pval, direction=NULL, tails=2, limit=.Machine$double.xmin)

`pval`	Vector with p-values
`direction`	Vector that will be used to determine the sign of the z-scores. Only the sign of the values is considered, so any suitable vectors (e.g. log2 fold change) can be supplied.
`limit`	Numeric (default: .Machine$double.xmin). pvalues < 'limit' will be set to 'limit' to avoid Inf/-Inf z-scores. Set to NULL to disable.
`tails`	Numeric, either 1 for p-values from one-tailed or 2 for p-values from two-tailed tests.
