S2N: calculate signal to noise ratio for microRNAs(miRNAs)

In MiRSEA: 'MicroRNA' Set Enrichment Analysis

calculate signal to noise ratio for microRNAs(miRNAs)

Description

This function calculate the signal to noise ratio for miRNAs for the actual phenotype and also random permutations

Usage

S2N(A, class.labels, miR.labels, nperm )

Arguments

A	Matrix of miRNAs expression values (rows are miRNAs, columns are samples)
class.labels	Phenotype of class disticntion of interest. A vector of binary labels having first the 1's and then the 0's
miR.labels	miRNA labels,Vector of probe ids or accession numbers for the rows of the expression matrix
nperm	Number of random permutations to perform

Details

The function uses matrix operations to implement the signal to noise calculation in stages and achieves fast execution speed.

Value

s2n.matrix	Matrix with random permuted or bootstraps signal to noise ratios (rows are miRNAs, columns are permutations or bootstrap subsamplings
obs.s2n.matrix	Matrix with observed signal to noise ratios (rows are miRNAs, columns are boostraps subsamplings. If fraction is set to 1.0 then all the columns have the same values

Examples

##Matrix of miRNAs expression values
A<-matrix(runif(200),10,20)
##class.labels("0" or "1")
a1<-rep(0,20)
a1[sample(1:20,5)]=1
a1<-sort(a1,decreasing=FALSE)
#calculate signal to noise ratio for example data
M1<-S2N(A, class.labels=a1, miR.labels=seq(1,10), nperm=100)
#show actual results for top five in the matrix 
M1$obs.s2n.matrix[1:5,1]
#show permutation results
