DMC_identification {betaclust}

The DMC identification function

Description

A function to identify the most differentially methylated clusters from K clusters.

Usage

DMC_identification(
  object,
  data,
  CpG_site_list,
  threshold = 0.65,
  metric = "AUC"
)

Arguments

object

A betaclust object

data

A dataframe of dimension C \times NR containing methylation values for C CpG sites from R samples collected from N patients which was passed as an argument to the betaclust function.

CpG_site_list

The IlmnID of all the CpG sites analysed by betaclust function.

threshold

The threshold value/s for selecting the most differentially methylated clusters, default= 0.65

metric

The metric (AUC or WD selected). default="AUC"

Details

This function selects the most diffentially methylated clusters based on AUC and WD metric calculated and returns the CpG sites belonging to those clusters.

Value

The function returns a dataframe of CpG sites and methylation values identified to belong to the most differentially methylated clusters
