IntsctEdg2Fw {EGRNi}R Documentation

To compute F score for significant edges from individual methods

Description

IntsctEdg2Fw computes the Fw score using Fisher's weighted method for the significant edges obtained in k numbers of individual methods. The probability values are combined to compute the Fw score which follows chi-square distribution. The significant edges (>fdr) are selected using intersection.

Usage

IntsctEdg2Fw(s, w, k, fdr)

Arguments

s

Matrix containing edge scores obtained from k numbers of methods with gene pairs in row and edge scores in column

w

Matrix containing weight for all individual methods

k

Numbers of independent methods considered for computing edge scores

fdr

Cut-off for selecting significant edges

Details

IntsctEdg2Fw function generates mixture distribution based on edge score for each method given column wise in s matrix. The probability value for each pair of gene obtained from mixture distribution are combined using Fisher's weighted method. The combined score Fw follows chi-square distribution with 2k degrees of freedom.

Value

Fw matrix containing F score for significant gene pairs
