PomaLimma: Differential Expression Analysis Using 'limma'

In pcastellanoescuder/POMA_package: Tools for Omics Data Analysis

Differential Expression Analysis Using limma

Description

PomaLimma uses the classical limma package to compute differential expression analysis.

Usage

PomaLimma(
  data,
  contrast = NULL,
  outcome = NULL,
  covs = NULL,
  adjust = "fdr",
  block = NULL,
  weights = FALSE
)

Arguments

data	A SummarizedExperiment object.
contrast	Character. Indicates the comparison. For example, "Group1-Group2" or "control-intervention".
outcome	Character. Indicates the name of the colData column to be used as the outcome factor. Default is NULL (first factor variable in colData).
covs	Character vector. Indicates the names of colData columns to be included as covariates. Default is NULL (no covariates). If not NULL, a limma model will be fitted using the specified covariates. Note: The order of the covariates is important and should be listed in increasing order of importance in the experimental design.
adjust	Character. Indicates the multiple comparisons correction method. Options are: "fdr", "holm", "hochberg", "hommel", "bonferroni", "BH" and "BY".
block	Character. Specifies the name of the colData factor column that includes the random effect variable to be considered (e.g., replicate). The default is NULL, indicating no random effect.
weights	Logical. Indicates whether the limma model should estimate the relative quality weights for each group. See ?limma::arrayWeights().

Value

A tibble with the results.
