calc_dispersion: Calculate gene dispersion of a matrix

calc_dispersionR Documentation

Calculate gene dispersion of a matrix

Description

Many genes typically co-vary with one another, and so the dimensionality of the data can be reduced with a wide variety of different algorithms. After calculating dispersion for a using the calc_dispersion function, the select_genes function allows the user to identify a set of genes that will be used in downstream dimensionality reduction methods.

Usage

calc_dispersion(
  obj,
  min_cells_detected = 1,
  min_exprs = 1,
  id_tag = "id",
  removeOutliers = TRUE
)

Value

a list containing 1) a table of dispersion values and 2) the function to fit
