expFilter: Filter expression data

In EMA: Easy Microarray Data Analysis

Description

This function takes an expression matrix and filtered out non detected genes.

Usage

expFilter(data, threshold = 3.5, p=0.01, graph = TRUE)

Arguments

data	expression matrix, genes on rows and samples on columns.
threshold	minimal value of expression to be reached
p	keep probes with at least p*ncol(data) samples higher than threshold
graph	boolean indicating if an histogram of the data should be plotted.

Details

The non variant genes are defined gy the threshold value. A gene is kept if at least p*ncol(data) of its values is higher than threshold.

The graph represents the distribution of all the genes in Data. A line shows the threshold value used.

Value

An expression matrix.
