Correlate module eigengenes to trait

Description

Correlate module eigengenes to trait

Usage

module_trait_cor(
  exp,
  metadata,
  MEs,
  metadata_cols = NULL,
  cor_method = "pearson"
)

Arguments

exp	A gene expression data frame with genes in row names and samples in column names or a 'SummarizedExperiment' object.
metadata	A data frame containing sample names in row names and sample annotation in the first column. Ignored if 'exp' is a 'SummarizedExperiment' object, since the function will extract colData.
MEs	Module eigengenes. It is the 2nd element of the result list generated by the function exp2gcn.
metadata_cols	A vector (either numeric or character) indicating which columns should be extracted from column metadata if exp is a 'SummarizedExperiment' object. The vector can contain column indices (numeric) or column names (character). By default, all columns are used.
cor_method	Method to calculate correlation. One of 'pearson', 'spearman' or 'kendall'. Default is 'spearman'.

Value

A data frame with correlation and correlation p-values for each pair of ME and trait, with the following variables:

ME

Factor, module eigengene.

trait

Factor, trait name. Each trait corresponds to a variable of the sample metadata (if numeric) or levels of a variable (if categorical).

cor

Numeric, correlation.

pvalue

Numeric, correlation P-values.

group

Character, name of the metadata variable.
