smgBinomRequiredSampleSize: Calculates the smallest sample size to detect driver genes...

In KarchinLab/cancerSeqStudy: Power and False Positive Analysis of Cancer Sequencing Studies

Description

Effect size is measures as the fraction of sample/patient cancers with a non-silent mutation in a driver gene above the background mutation rate.

Usage

smgBinomRequiredSampleSize(desired.power, mu, possible.samp.sizes, effect.size,
  signif.level = 5e-06, Leff = 1500 * 3/4)

Arguments

desired.power	A floating point number indicating desired power
mu	Mutation rate per base
possible.samp.sizes	vector of possible number of cancer samples in study
effect.size	fraction of samples above background mutation rate
signif.level	significance level for binomial test
Leff	effective gene length of CDS in bases for an average gene

Value

List containing the smallest effect size with sufficient power
