View source: R/targetCor.R

Description

The p x p target Cor is computed from the n x p data matrix. It it a modified version of target G. In particular, it tests the correlations (with a significance level of 0.05) and sets the non-significant correlations to zero before the mean correlation r is computed.

Usage

1
targetCor(x, genegroups)

Arguments

x

A n \times p data matrix.

genegroups

A list of genes obtained using the database KEGG, where each entry itself is a list of pathway names this genes belongs to. If a gene does not belong to any gene functional group, the entry is NA.

Value

A p x p matrix.
