Calculate Intersections Among Multiple Sets and Perform Statistical Tests

Description

This function calculates intersection sizes among multiple sets and performs statistical tests of the intersections.

Usage

supertest(x, n=NULL, degree=NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	list; a collection of sets.
n	integer, background population size. Required for computing the statistical significance of intersections.
degree	a vector of intersection degrees for overlap analysis. E.g., when degree=c(2:3), only those intersections involving two or three sets will be computed. By default, degree=NULL, all possible intersections are computed.
...	additional arguments (not implemented).

Details

This function calculates intersection sizes between multiple sets and, if background population size n is specified, performs statistical tests of the intersections. For a brief introduction of using this package, please see vignette("set_html").

Value

An object of class msets.
