In LiubaNM/TFARM: Transcription Factors Association Rules Miner

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

The function substitutes the presence of a given transcription factor TFi (or a combination of transcription factors) chosen by the user with its absence, in the subset of relevant association rules extracted with the function rulesTF. Then it searches for the obtained rules and their quality measures of support, confidence and lift in the set of most relevant associations extracted with the function rulesGen. A rule is searched in all the association rules generable from the considered dataset using the function search_rule.

1	rulesTF0(TFi, sub_rules, all_rules, data, RHS)

`TFi`	a string, or a string vector: transcription factor (or combination of transcription factors) to remove from the set of rules.
`sub_rules`	a data.frame with a subset of rules containing `TFi`, and their quality measures of support, confidence and lift (i.e., rules from which the user wants to remove `TFi`).
`all_rules`	a data.frame with a set of all the rules and their quality measures of support, confidence and lift, to be considered for the search of the obtained rules and their quality measures.
`data`	a GRanges object which contains the Indicator of presence matrix i.e., a matrix with 1 and 0 values representing presence or absence, respectively (in case other values different from 0 are present, all of them are considered as representing presence).
`RHS`	the right-hand-side of the considered association rules.

A data.frame with all the rules in the set sub_rules in which the transcription factor (or combination of transcription factors) TFi is absent, and their quality measures of support, confidence and lift.
