CalculateSynergy: Calculate the synergy scores for drug combinations

In hly89/synergyfinder: Calculate and Visualize Synergy Scores for Drug Combinations

Description

A function to calculate the synergy scores for drug combinations using different models.

Usage

CalculateSynergy(data, method = "ZIP", correction = TRUE, Emin = 0,
  Emax = 100, nan.handle = c("LL4", "L4"))

Arguments

data	a list object generated by function ReshapeData
method	a parameter to specify which models to use to calculate the synergy scores. Choices are "ZIP", "Bliss", "HSA" and "Loewe". Defaults to "ZIP".
correction	a parameter to specify if baseline correction is used or not. Defaults to TRUE.
Emin	the minimal effect of the drug used in the 4-parameter log-logistic function to fit the dose-response curve. If it is not NA, it is fixed the value assigned by the user. Defaults to 0. For "Bliss", "HSA" and "Loewe" model, it is used only when correction is required.
Emax	the maximal effect of the drug used in the 4-parameter log-logistic function to fit the dose-response curve. If it is not NA, it is fixed the value assigned by the user. Defaults to 100. For "Bliss", "HSA" and "Loewe" model, it is used only when correction is required.
nan.handle	a parameter to specify if L.4 function or LL.4 function is used when fitting with LL.4 produces NaNs.

Value

a list of the following components:

dose.response.mats	the same as the input data component.
drug.pairs	the same as the input data component.
scores	a list of matrixes of synergy scores.
method	the method used to calculate the synergy scores.
