Description

identifying miRNA sponge interactions using ceRNA.cor.In this function We implement several popular linear methods ( HyperC, SC) to identify miRNA sponge. interactions.

Usage

1
2
ceRNA.cor(miRtar, targetce = NULL, geneexp, miRexp, numMIR = 1, method = "pearson", 
numrandom = 100)

Arguments

miRtar

A data frame representing the relationship between miRNA and target. The data frame contains the name of the miRNA and target regulatory relationship.Required option for method "pearson" and "partial correlation".

targetce

a character string (vector) specifying candidate target name to analyse (default (targetce = NULL)).

geneexp

An input target expression data frame, the columns are genes and the rows are samples.The expression value may be gene expression ,non-coding RNA expression or expression values of circRNAs and so on. Required option for method pearson" and "partial correlation".

miRexp

An input miRNA expression data frame, the columns are miRNA and the rows are samples. Required option for method pearson" and "partial correlation".

numMIR

a numeric vector that specify the minimum number of 2 gene-shared miRNAs.

method

a character string (default "pearson") indicating which statistical method to choose to calculate the ceRNA interaction relationship. One of "pearson" (default), or "partial correlation", can be abbreviated.

numrandom

The number of random. Required option for method "partial correlation",default (numrandom = 100).

Details

Note:All the arguments without default value must be assigned.

Value

A list of identified miRNA sponge interactions containing following components:
