In OutSeekR: Statistical Approach to Outlier Detection in RNA-Seq and Related Data

Identify optimal distribution of data

Description

Identify which of four distributions—normal, log-normal, exponential, or gamma—best fits the given data according to BIC.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'bic.optimal.data.distribution'
identify(x)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector.

Value

A numeric code representing which distribution optimally fits x. Possible values are

• 1 = normal,

• 2 = log-normal,

• 3 = exponential, and

• 4 = gamma.

Examples

# Generate fake data.
set.seed(1234);
x <- rgamma(
    n = 20,
    shape = 2,
    scale = 2
    );
identify.bic.optimal.data.distribution(
    x = x
    );
