DistanceGen: DistanceGen

In nathansam/CircadianTools: Collection of Tools for Detecting Rhythmic Genes

Description

Generates a distance matrix from a a transcriptomics dataset.

Usage

DistanceGen(dataset, metric = "euclidean", nthreads = NULL)

Arguments

dataset	A transcriptomics dataset. Preferably filtered first. First columns should be gene names. All other columns should be expression levels.
metric	The distance metric to be used to calculate the distances between genes. See parallelDist::parDist for all accepted arguments. Also allows the option of 'abs.correlation'. Not used if a distance matrix is provided.
nthreads	The number of threads to be used for parallel computations. If NULL then the maximum number of threads available will be used.

Examples

distance <- DistanceGen(Laurasmappings, metric='abs.correlation',
                        nthreads = 2)
