endoPredict: Function to compute the endoPredict signature as published by...

In genefu: Computation of Gene Expression-Based Signatures in Breast Cancer

Description

This function computes signature scores and risk classifications from gene expression values following the algorithm used for the endoPredict signature as published by Filipits et al 2011.

Usage

endoPredict(data, annot, do.mapping = FALSE, mapping, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

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. Note that for Affymetrix HGU datasets, the mapping is not necessary.
mapping	Matrix with columns "EntrezGene.ID" and "probe" used to force the mapping such that the probes are not selected based on their variance.
verbose	TRUE to print informative messages, FALSE otherwise.

Details

The function works best if data have been noralized with MAS5. Note that for Affymetrix HGU datasets, the mapping is not necessary.

Value

score	Continuous signature scores
risk	Binary risk classification, 1 being high risk and 0 being low risk.
mapping	Mapping used if necessary.
probe	If mapping is performed, this matrix contains the correspondence between the gene list (aka signature) and gene expression data.
