Description

Makes use of a subsampling approach to estimate the background noise when sequencing a gene with a specific number of amplicons. The 95 percent confidence interval is returned for each unique number of amplicons in the experiment.

Background(geneNames,
           samplesNormalizedReadCounts,
           referenceNormalizedReadCounts,
           bootList,
           replicates = 1000,
           significanceLevel = 0.05,
           robust = FALSE)

Arguments

geneNames

A vector of gene names, with one entry for each sequenced amplicon.

samplesNormalizedReadCounts

A matrix with the normalized read counts of the samples of interest

referenceNormalizedReadCounts

A matrix with the normalized reference read counts

bootList

A list as returned by BootList

replicates

an integer number of how many replicates should be performed

significanceLevel

The significance level for the calculated confidence interval

robust

If set to true the confidence interval is calculated replacing mean with median and sd with mad.

Value

Returns a list of data frames. One data frame for each sample of interest. The data frames report the 95 percent confidence interval of the background noise for each number of amplicons and sample combination.
