F_score {EGRNi}R Documentation

To compute F score using probability value

Description

F_score computes the combined edge score from multiple probability values of edges obtained from independent methods. The probability score follows uniform distribution [0,1].The F score follows chi-square distribution with 2k degrees of freedom.

Usage

F_score(p, w, k)

Arguments

p

Matrix containing probability values of edges for each method column wise having gene pairs in row

w

Matrix containing weight for all individual methods

k

Numbers of independent methods considered for computing edge scores

Details

F_score function generates mixture distribution based on probability value for each method given column wise in p matrix. The probability value for each pair of gene are combined using Fisher's weighted method. The combined score Fw follows chi-square distribution with 2k degrees of freedom. The F_score provides the network file as output containing the interacting pair of genes in row with final score.

Value

Fw_sum matrix containing F score for significant gene pairs
