bimod: Function to identify bimodality for gene expression or...

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

Description

This function fits a mixture of two Gaussians to identify bimodality. Useful to identify ER of HER2 status of breast tumors using ESR1 and ERBB2 expressions respectively.

Usage

2
bimod(x, data, annot, do.mapping = FALSE, mapping, model = c("E", "V"), 
  do.scale = TRUE, verbose = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

Matrix containing the gene(s) in the gene list in rows and at least three columns: "probe", "EntrezGene.ID" and "coefficient" standing for the name of the probe, the NCBI Entrez Gene id and the coefficient giving the direction and the strength of the association of each gene in the gene list.

data

Matrix of gene expressions with samples in rows and probes in columns, dimnames being properly defined.

annot

Matrix of annotations with at least one column named "EntrezGene.ID", dimnames being properly defined.

do.mapping

TRUE if the mapping through Entrez Gene ids must be performed (in case of ambiguities, the most variant probe is kept for each gene), FALSE otherwise.

mapping

Matrix with columns "EntrezGene.ID" and "probe" used to force the mapping such that the probes are not selected based on their variance.

model

Model name used in Mclust.

do.scale

TRUE if the gene expressions or signature scores must be rescaled (see rescale), FALSE otherwise.

verbose

TRUE to print informative messages, FALSE otherwise.

...

Additional parameters to pass to sig.score.

Value

status

Status being 0 or 1.

status1.proba

Probability p to be of status 1, the probability to be of status 0 being 1-p.

gaussians

Matrix of parameters fitted in the mixture of two Gaussians. Matrix of NA values if EM algorithm did not converge.

BIC

Values (gene expressions or signature scores) used to identify bimodality.

BI

Bimodality Index (BI) as defined by Wang et al., 2009.

x

Values (gene expressions or signature scores) used to identify bimodality.
