normalization.diagnostic: Function for Plotting Summary Normalization Diagnostic Plots

In MVR: Mean-Variance Regularization

Description

Plot comparative Box-Whisker and Heatmap plots of variables across samples check the effectiveness of normalization before and after Mean-Variance Regularization.

Usage

    normalization.diagnostic(obj, 
                             pal,
                             title = "Normalization Diagnostic Plots",
                             device = NULL, 
                             file = "Normalization Diagnostic Plots",
                             path = getwd(),
                             horizontal = FALSE, 
                             width = 7, 
                             height = 8, ...)

Arguments

obj	Object of class "mvr" returned by mvr.
title	Title of the plot. Defaults to "Normalization Diagnostic Plots".
pal	Color palette.
device	Graphic display device in {NULL, "PS", "PDF"}. Defaults to NULL (standard output screen). Currently implemented graphic display devices are "PS" (Postscript) or "PDF" (Portable Document Format).
file	File name for output graphic. Defaults to "Normalization Diagnostic Plots".
path	Absolute path (without final (back)slash separator). Defaults to working directory path.
horizontal	Logical scalar. Orientation of the printed image. Defaults to FALSE, that is potrait orientation.
width	Numeric scalar. Width of the graphics region in inches. Defaults to 7.
height	Numeric scalar. Height of the graphics region in inches. Defaults to 8.
...	Generic arguments passed to other plotting functions.

Details

Option file is used only if device is specified (i.e. non NULL). The argument pal can be any color palette, e.g. as provided by R package RColorBrewer.

Value

None. Displays the plots on the chosen device.
