cpg.combine {CpGassoc}

Combine various objects of class "cpg"

Description

Takes a list containing objects of class "cpg" and combines them into one cpg item. Assumes that there are no repeated CpG sites bewtween the various objects (i.e. analysis wasn't performed on the same sites twice).

Usage

cpg.combine(allvalues, fdr.method="BH",fdr.cutoff=.05)

Arguments

allvalues

A list containing the "cpg" objects that are desired to be consolidated.

fdr.method

FDR method that user wants to use. For options see the cpg.assoc help page.

fdr.cutoff

The desired FDR threshold. The default setting is .05. The set of CpG sites with FDR < fdr.cutoff will be labeled as significant.

Value

info.data

An object of class "cpg" that is the consolidated version of the objects of class cpg that were passed in.

Note

This is designed to be used by cpg.assoc when it does analysis on large data sets or by the user if they split up the analysis by chromosome or some other such partition.

Examples

data(samplecpg,samplepheno,package="CpGassoc")
###NOTE: If you are dealing with large data, do not specify large.data=FALSE. 
###The default option is true.
##This will involve partitioning up the data and performing more gc() to clear up space
test1<-cpg.assoc(samplecpg[1:100,],samplepheno$weight,large.data=FALSE)
test2<-cpg.assoc(samplecpg[101:200,],samplepheno$weight,large.data=FALSE)
bigtest<-list(test1,test2)
overall<-cpg.combine(bigtest)
