| bootmr.weight {BootMRMR} | R Documentation |
Computation of weights for informative genes/ geneset selection using Bootstrap-MRMR technique
Description
The function computes the weights associated with each genes for a given dataset using Bootstrap-MRMR technique.
Usage
bootmr.weight(x, y, s, plot)Arguments
x |
x is a N by p dataframe of gene expression, where rows are genes and columns are as samples/subjects (gene names are taken as row names). Each cell/entry represents the expression level of a gene in a sample/subject. |
y |
y is a p by 1 numeric vector having elements as 1/-1 representing the sample labels of samples/subjects (for two class problems, i.e. stress/control) |
s |
s is a numeric constant representing the number of bootstrap samples drawn (s must be sufficiently large) |
plot |
plot is a character string must either take logical value TRUE/FALSE representing whether the plot of the gene weights of all genes in the dataset needs to be constructed or not. |
Details
The function returns a vector of weights associated with each genes computed from Bootstrap-MRMR technique for a given dataset.
