In pathVar: Methods to Find Pathways with Significantly Different Variability

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

Gets significant genes within a certain window of variability.

1	getGenes(pvalue_results,pathway,window)

`pvalue_results`	output of `pathVarTwoSamplesCont` step.
`pathway`	A pathway name.
`window`	A `vector` with a min and max range to specify the window of genes to grab with a certain level of variance.

It takes the result of pathVarTwoSamplesCont, a given pathway and "window". It will give you the genes having their variability value in the window for group 1 and another set of genes for group 2 corresponding to the given pathway. It also returns the set of all the genes from your dataset that belong to this pathway.

An object of class geneSet with 3 properties. The first 2 are the genes in the window from each group. The third are all the genes.
