Description Usage Arguments Value

Description

For a signature matrix containing conditions/comparisons in its columns and typically gene names in its rows, this function will find the most specific N genes for a given condition. It will do so by computing for each gene the difference between the individual value for in a given condition and the maximum value among the other conditions.

Usage

1
specific_n(mat, nn = 50, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

mat

numeric matrix

nn

integer indicating how many genes to isolate for each condition/comparison (default = 50)

verbose

logical indicating whether to message information on the process

Value

a data frame with gene names for from the rownames of the input matrix
