RHT-package: Regularized Hotelling's T-square Test for Pathway (Gene Set)...

Description Details Author(s) References See Also Examples

Description

This package offers functions to perform regularized Hotelling's T-square test for pathway or gene set analysis. The package is tailored for but not limited to proteomics data, in which sample sizes are often small, and a large proportion of the data are missing and/or correlations may be present.

 ## we simulate a data set with N=10 samples and p=50 proteins. 
  ## 20% of the data are missing.
  ## Among the 50 proteins, we randomly assign 2 pathways, with 5 and 12 proteins, respectively.
  
  set.seed(1)
  X <- matrix(rnorm(500),nrow=10)
  X[sample(1:500, 0.2*500)] <- NA

  path.idx[[1]] <- 1:5
  path.idx[[2]] <- 13:24

  ## The following function tests each pathway to see
  ## if any of the proteins in each pathway shows non-zero 
  ## abundance/expression
  
  pval <- RHT.fun(path.idx, dat=X)
