Normalization methods

Description

Apply any of the available SIGHTS normalization methods

Usage

normSights(normMethod, dataMatrix, plateRows, plateCols, dataRows = NULL,
  dataCols = NULL, trimFactor = 0.2, wellCorrection = FALSE,
  biasMatrix = NULL, biasCols = NULL, seqFilter = TRUE)

Arguments

normMethod

Normalization method name from SIGHTS ('Z', 'RobZ', 'R', 'SPAWN', 'Loess', or 'MedFil')

dataMatrix

Data frame or numeric matrix. Columns are plates, and rows are plate wells.

plateRows, plateCols

Number of rows/columns in plate. Applies to normMethods 'R', 'SPAWN', 'Loess', and 'MedFil'.

dataRows, dataCols

Optional integer vector. Indicate which row/column numbers from the dataMatrix should be normalized. If NULL then all rows/columns from the dataMatrix are used.

trimFactor

Optional trim value to be used in trimmed mean polish. It should be between 0 and 0.5. Default is 0.2. Applies to normMethod 'SPAWN'.

wellCorrection

Optional logical. If TRUE then individual wells are corrected based on spatial bias. Applies to normMethod 'SPAWN'.

biasMatrix

Optional data frame or numeric matrix, in the same format as dataMatrix and with the same plateRows and plateCols specifications. If NULL then normalized data is used as bias template. Applies to normMethod 'SPAWN'.

biasCols

Optional integer vector. Indicate which column numbers from biasMatrix or normalized dataMatrix (subset of dataCols) should be used to calculate bias template. Control plates or selection of dataMatrix plates to be used for well correction. If NULL then all plates of biasMatrix or normalized dataMatrix are used. Applies to normMethod 'SPAWN'.

seqFilter

Optional logical. If TRUE apply initial row median filter then standard filter, else just apply standard filter. Applies to normMethod 'MedFil'.

Details

One of the following SIGHTS normalization methods may be chosen: normZ, normRobZ, normR, normSPAWN, normLoess, or normMedFil. See their individual help pages for more details.

Value

Numeric matrix of normalized data in the same format as dataMatrix

Note

For information on how to arrange your dataset for dataMatrix, please see (ex_dataMatrix)
