gene_statistics: Gene expression statistics

Description Usage Arguments

View source: R/gene_statistics.R

Description

This function computes five statistics: mean, median, variance, q (actually, q1 and q2), and φ. The statistics q and φ are parameter estimations related to the Negative Binomial distribution, a commonly assumed model for the distribution of gene (or isoform) expression counts.

Usage

1
gene_statistics(m, p_min = 0)

Arguments

m

Matrix of gene expression values. Rows are genes and columns are samples.

p_min

Minimum value for parameter p of the Negative Binomial distribution to be assumed when estimating q.
