Description

Z-score wrapper function.

Usage

1

Arguments

data

Numeric matrix with the microarray dataset to infer the network. Columns contain variables and rows contain samples.

Details

Zscore is a method that assumes interventional data, more concretely knockout experiments that leads to a change in other genes. The assumption is that the knocked-out gene i in the experiment k affects more strongly to the genes that it regulates than the others, the effect of the gene i over the gene j is captured with the Zscore z_{ij}:

z_{ij}=|\frac{x_{jk}-μ_j}{σ_j}|

mu_j and σ_j are respectively the mean and standard deviation of the empirical distribution of the gene j.

Value

zscore.wrap returns a matrix which is the weighted adjacency matrix of the network inferred by Zscore algorithm.
