getCorrelation-methods: get correlation between samples in methylBase object

In vd4mmind/methylkit: DNA methylation analysis from high-throughput bisulfite sequencing results

Description

The functions returns a matrix of correlation coefficients and/or a set of scatterplots showing the relationship between samples

Usage

  getCorrelation(object,method="pearson",plot=FALSE)

Arguments

object	a methylBase object
method	a character string indicating which correlation coefficient (or covariance) is to be computed (default:"pearson", other options are "kendall" and "spearman")
plot	scatterPlot if TRUE (default:FALSE)

Value

a correlation matrix object and plot scatterPlot

Examples

data(methylKit)
getCorrelation(methylBase.obj,method="pearson",plot=FALSE)
