interventionEffects: Calculate interventional effects

In interventionalDBN: Interventional Inference for Dynamic Bayesian Networks

Description

This function assesses which nodes are downstream of the nodes that are the target of the interventions. The samples are assumed to be independent, and the difference between the inhibited and baseline concentrations is assumed to be Gaussian. This leads to a t-distribution for the mean difference across the timecourse.

Usage

interventionEffects(d, cellLine, baseline, inhibited)

Arguments

d	A microarray spreadsheet, a samples by (4 + P) matrix, where P is the number of measurements for each sample. Column 1 gives the cell line in each sample. Column 2 gives the inhibitor used in each sample. Column 3 gives the stimulus used in each sample. Column 4 gives the time each sample was measured.
cellLine	The cell line to investigate (must match an entry in column 1 of d). Must be specified even if there is only one.
baseline	The baseline inhibition condition (must match an entry in column 2 of d).
inhibited	The active inhibition condition (must match an entry in column 2 of d).

Details

The function performs a t-test for each stimuli seperately as well as for all the stimuli combined together, which may be less reliable because the assumptions are stronger.

Value

n.differences	A vector giving the number of differences used to calculate the t-statistic for each stimulus.
t.statistics	A vector of t-statistics for the stimuli separately.
degrees.freedom	The corresponding vector of degrees of freedom for each test.
p.values	The corresponding vector of p-values.
heatmap.p.values	The corresponding vector of sign(T)(1-p). This can make a nice heatmap, as significant increases and significant decreases in concentration are at opposite ends of the scale.
all.stim.t.statistic	The t-statistic for the stimuli combined.
all.stim.degrees.freedom	The degrees of freedom for the stimuli combined.
all.stim.p.values	The p-value for the stimuli combined.
all.stim.heatmap.p.values	sign(T)(1-p) for all stimuli combined.
