Description

Main function to perform trancriptome analysis on a fitted wavelet-based functional model of class WfmFit.

Usage

1
wfm.inference(object, contrast.matrix=NULL, contrasts=c("compare","means","effects","overallMean"), delta=NULL, two.sided=NULL, minRunPos=90, minRunProbe=1, alpha=0.05, nsim=1000, rescale=NULL)

Arguments

object

object of class WfmFit

contrast.matrix

custom contrasts matrix

contrasts

character indicating the type of transcriptome analysis is to be applied. Currently the following types are implemented: compare for doing a pairwise differential expression analysis between any combination of two groups; effects, which corresponds to a circadian rhythm analysis if a circadian design is used for the fit, and to a time effects analysis (linear, quadratic,...) if a time-course design is used for the fit; means for doing a group-wise transcript discovery analysis.

delta

threshold value to be used in the inference procedure. This should be a numeric vector with as first element the threshold for the overall mean transcript discovery and the other elements the threshold for the differential expression, the effects analysis or group-wise mean analysis. If the threshold should be equal for all comparisons, effects or group-wise means only a vector of length 2 is needed. Otherwise, the vector must be of length r+1 with r the number of pairwise comparisons, effects or group-wise means.

two.sided

logical indicating if one-sided or two-sided tests are desired

minRunPos

minrun by position. An integer to indicate the minimum number of basepairs a significant genomic region should contain.

minRunProbe

minrun by probes. An integer to indicate the minimum number of probes the significant genomic region should map to.

alpha

significance level

nsim

number of simulations used when doing circadian rhythm inference

rescale

rescale matrix

Value

object of class WfmFit
