Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also

Description

Reads a text file containing output generated by the VEGAS software

Usage

1
readVEGAS(fn, path = ".", adjPermP = TRUE, p.adjust = "holm")

Arguments

fn

Name of the file tor read

path

Path to file, defaults to .

adjPermP

FLag indicating whether to adjust the permutation p-values reported by VEGAS, see below. Defaults to TRUE.

p.adjust

The multiple testing adjustment for the gene-wise p-values; can be any the methods in p.adjust.methods except for none.

Details

VEGAS returns permutation p-values that are exactly zero, which is of course impossible. The read-in function adjusts this by including the observed test statistic in the null-count.

Value

A data frame containing the data with extra class attribute VEGAS. This is a straightforward wrapper for the raw data, except for the extra column with adjusted p-values, with is named adjPvalue.<adjustment method>.
