Calculate ROC area-under-curve for X-chromosome sex differences (internal function for calculating the seabi metric)

Description

This is a wrapper for the prediction and performance functions from the ROCR package that takes a vector of p-values and a vector of true or false for being on the X. See seabi function which does everything.

Usage

seabird(pr, stop = 1, X)

Arguments

pr

a vector of p-values, such as calculated by seabird

stop

fraction for partial area under curve. For example 0.1 gives you the area for the lowest 10% of p-values.

X

logical vector the same length as pv, true for features mapped to X-chromosome

Value

Returns an area value between 0 and 1, where 1 is the best possible performance.
