mrmr.cutoff: Informative geneset selection using MRMR weights

Description

The function returns the informative genes/ geneset for the particular trait/condition under investigation using Maximum Relevance and Minimum Redundancy (MRMR) technique.

Usage

mrmr.cutoff(x, y, n)

Arguments

x

x is a N by p data frame of gene expression values where rows represent genes and columns represent samples/subject/time point. Each cell entry represents the expression level of a gene in a sample/subject (row names of x as gene names/gene ids).

y

y is a p by 1 numeric vector with entries 1 and -1 representing sample labels, where 1 and -1 represents the sample label of subjects/ samples for stress and control condition respectively.

n

n is a numeric constant represents the number of informative genes to be selected.
