Description Usage Arguments Methods Author(s) See Also Examples

Description

This function returns the Z-statistic (which is compared to a reference standard normal distribution) for the normal approximation of npGSEA for a corresponding GeneSet or a list of these statistics for a GeneSetCollection. This method is applicable for only the normal approximation method.

Usage

1
    zStat(object)

Arguments

object

An object of type npGSEAResultNorm or npGSEAResultNormCollection

Methods

signature(object = "npGSEAResultNorm")

Returns the Z-statistic for a npGSEAResultNorm object

signature(object = "npGSEAResultNormCollection")

Returns a list of the Z- statistics for a npGSEAResultNormCollection objects (1 for each set)
