empirical.controls(
  dat,
  mod,
  mod0 = NULL,
  n.sv,
  B = 5,
  type = c("norm", "counts")
)

Arguments

dat

The transformed data matrix with the variables in rows and samples in columns

mod

The model matrix being used to fit the data

mod0

The null model being compared when fitting the data

n.sv

The number of surogate variables to estimate

B

The number of iterations of the irwsva algorithm to perform

type

If type is norm then standard irwsva is applied, if type is counts, then the moderated log transform is applied first

Value

pcontrol A vector of probabilites that each gene is a control.
