getSimScores: Get Similarity Scoring for a Gene Expression Vector

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

View source: R/getSimScores.R

Description

This function computes the similarity score of a gene expression vector returned by getExternalVector or a trimmed data set returned by getTrimmedExternalSet, compared to a subset of AIBSARNA, obtained by getRelevantGenes.

Usage

1
getSimScores(data, relevantGenes = NULL, similarity_method = "cosine")

Arguments

data

a named vector of gene expression values returned by getExternalVector, a SummarizedExperiment returned by getTrimmedExternalSet, or a CellScabbard object.

relevantGenes

a SummarizedExperiment object created using the getRelevantGenes() function

similarity_method

currently supported similarity methods are "cosine" and "euclidean", defaults to "cosine"

Value

If data is a vector, returns a vector of similarity scores for each sample in relevantGenes. If data is a SummarizedExperiment, returns a data frame, with columns containing the similarity scores for and named after each sample in data, and rows named after each sample in relevantGenes. If data is a CellScabbard, the results will be stored in its similarityScores slot.
