validate.FC {RVA}

Validate Foldchange

Description

This function ensures the fold change minimum, maximum, and step are valid.

Usage

validate.FC(FCmin, FCmax, FCstep)

Arguments

FCmin

The minimum starting fold change cutoff to be checked, so the minimum fold change cutoff to be evaluated will be FCmin + FCstep, FCmin default = 1.

FCmax

The maximum fold change cutoff to be checked, default = 2.

FCstep

The step from the minimum to maximum fold change cutoff, one step increase at a time, default = 0.01.

Details

Specifically it checks that the FCmax is greater than the FCmin, that at least 1 FCstep can fit within the FCmax and FCmin, that FCmax and FCmin values are non-negative, and that FCstep is positive.
