solve.Ensemble: Run the Ensemble Solver

Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also Examples

Description

Given a TReNA object with Ensemble as the solver and a list of solvers (default = "default.solvers"), estimate coefficients for each transcription factor as a predictor of the target gene's expression level. The final scores for the ensemble method combine all specified solvers to create a composite score for each transcription factor. This method should be called using the solve method on an appropriate TReNA object.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'EnsembleSolver'
run(obj)

Arguments

obj

An object of class Solver with "ensemble" as the solver string

Details

Value

A data frame containing the scores for all solvers and two composite scores relating the target gene to each transcription factor. The two new scores are:
