DESCENDselect: DESCEND gene selection

In lingxuez/SOUP: Semi-soft Clustering of Single Cell Data

Description

Select highly variable genes for clustering using DESCEND.

Usage

DESCENDselect(counts, n.cores = 1, threshold = 3)

Arguments

counts	the cell-by-gene expression counts. Note that DESCEND uses a Poisson model, so the count data should be provided.
n.cores	the number of cores used for parallel computing. DESCEND can be slow so parallelization is highly recommended.
threshold	(optional) the threshold for Gini index, default is 3. Higer threshold leads to fewer selected genes.

Value

A list containing

select.genes

the names of selected genes, ordered by decreasing scores.

scores

a score matrix containing the Gini scores of all genes.
