evalnetworks: Computing all the statistics from data of sythetic network

In netmes: Exploratory Analysis of Gene Networks with Netmes, An R package for network-based measures

Description

This function takes the adjacency matrix, the data sets folder path and number of mutual information steps for the therhold mutual information. It returns averaged mutual information matrix, averaged mutual information matrix for the inferred edges, the averaged mutual information values for the inferred edges, the averaged mutual information values for the non-inferred edges, maximum F-scores, threshold mutual information values that gives maximum F-score, and also the same input adjacency matrix of genes.

Usage

evalnetworks(E, net, infilepath)

Arguments

E	number of experiments.
net	Adjacency matrix of genes (not symmetric).
infilepath	The path of the directory, where all the data files kept.

Details

It reads all the mutual information matrices from the folders and take the average and then derive the other parameters from it.

Value

evalnetworks returns an object of class '"res"' which is a list with components:

aveMImat	averaged mutual information matrix of the overall experiments.
rmat	averaged mutual information matrix for the inferred edges of the overall experiments.
tpre	All the averaged mutual information values for the inferred edges.
fnre	All the averaged mutual information values for the non-inferred edges.
Fscores	Maximum F-score values for all the experiments.
Ithr	The threshold mutual information values, which gives maximum F-score, for all the experiments.
net	Adjacency matrix of genes (not symmetric).

Examples

# E <- 5 # number of experiments (data sets)

# infile <- "./netmes/data/networkDAG.sif"

# infilepath <- "./netmes/data/syn/"
# This is an example path. Change this path wrt the path of data in your computer.

# net <- readNet(infile, infilepath) # true network (+1 edge/ activator - -1 edges/repr.)

# res <- evalnetworks(E, net, infilepath)

# boxplot(res$Fscores) #optional

# save(res, file = "resDAG")  # is used for saving boxplots
