DAC-classR Documentation

Differentially Abundant Clusters (DAC) class definition

Description

The 'DAC' object is a S4 object containing the information related to the differentially abundant clusters between two given biological conditions. Moreover, this object contains parameters and results used in the statistical analysis.

Details

A cluster is considered as a differentially enriched cluster if its associated p-value and fold-change are below the specific thresholds 'th.pvalue' and 'th.fc'.

The 'print()' and 'show()' can be used to display a summary of this object. Moreover all information about this object could be saved as a tab separated file using the 'export()' method. This object is returned by the 'identifyDAC()' function.

Slots

sample.cond1

a character specifying the names of the samples of the first biological condition

sample.cond2

a character specifying the names of the samples of the second biological condition

cluster.size

a numeric vector containing the number of cells for each cluster

use.percentages

a logical specifying if computation was performed on percentage of cell abundance

method

a character containing the name of the statistical test used to identify the DAC

method.adjust

a character containing the name of the multiple correction method used (if any)

method.paired

a logical indicating if the statistical test have been performed in a paired manner

th.fc

a numeric value specifying the fold-change threshold

th.pvalue

a numeric value specifying the p-value threshold

results

a data.frame containing for each cluster (first column): the fold-change (second column) and the standard deviation (third column) for the first biological condition, the fold-change (fourth column) and the standard deviation (fifth column) for the second biological condition, the associated p-value (sixth column) and a logical (seventh column) specifying if the cluster is significantly differentially abundant.
