empPvalues: Estimate empirical p-values for Chi^2 protein correlations.

In lgatto/pRoloc: A unifying bioinformatics framework for spatial proteomics

Estimate empirical p-values for Chi^2 protein correlations.

Description

Andersen et al. (2003) used a fixed Chi^2 threshold of 0.05 to identify organelle-specific candidates. This function computes empirical p-values by permutation the markers relative intensities and computed null Chi^2 values.

Usage

empPvalues(marker, corMatrix, n = 100, ...)

Arguments

marker	A numerics with markers relative intensities.
corMatrix	A matrix of nrow(corMatrix) protein relative intensities to be compares against the marker.
n	The number of iterations.
...	Additional parameters to be passed to chi2.

Value

A numeric of length nrow(corMatrix).
