run.config-methods: Method for Function 'run.config' in Package 'GenometriCorr'

Description Methods Note Author(s)

Description

The run.config function runs on a "GenometriCorrConfig" class object; it runs the GenometriCorrelation function with the parameters described in the configuration object. The resulting object of "GenometriCorrResult" has the original options in its config slot.

Methods

signature(conf = "GenometriCorrConfig")

run.config(conf,query=NA,reference=NA,query.format=NA,reference.format=NA,mapping=NA,mapping.format=NA,do.mapping=NA)
runs GenometriCorrelation.
conf is the "GenometriCorrConfig" class. Its slots correspond to the configuration file sections. Below is the list of the sections and the variables of the file and the corresponding parameters of the GenometriCorrelation

call.

Section Value Role
[chromosomes] this section contains the list of chromosomes, it is passed as chromosomes.to.proceed
[chromosomes.length] name=length this length will be passed in the chromosomes.length parameter in the ['name'] element
[options] add.chr.as.prefix add.chr.as.prefix
[options] awhole.only awhole.only
[options] suppress.evaluated.length.warning suppress.evaluated.length.warning
[options] keep.distributions keep.distributions
[options] showTkProgressBar showTkProgressBar
[options] showProgressBar showProgressBar
[tests] permut.number permut.number
[tests] ecdf.area.permut.number ecdf.area.permut.number
[tests] mean.distance.permut.number mean.distance.permut.number
[tests] jaccard.measure.permut.number jaccard.measure.permut.number
[tests] random.seed value to seed the random generator (for reproducibility)

Below are values that describe the input data; they can be overriden by the run.config call parameters.

Section Value Role
[data] query name of the query file
[data] query.format format of the file or 'R.variable.name'
[data] reference name of the reference file
[data] reference.format format of the file or 'R.variable.name'
[data] mapping name of the mapping file
[data] mapping.format format of the mapping file or 'R.variable.name'
[data] do.mapping logical; whether to do mapping

Each of the data (query, reference, mapping) parameters may instead be data of one of the accepted formats (GRanges). In this case, the corresponding format value is omitted and nothing is written to the config slot of the result, and the data are used for the function calls. If the format parameter is 'R.variable.name', the input is taken from that variable. The calculation is the same as for GRanges parameter, but the name of the variable and the 'R.variable.name' are saved in config slot of the result.

Other formats are interpreted as format parameters for the import function from rtracklayer package.
