topsis.meth: Selection of optimal gene selection method(s)/method(s) through multi-criteria decision analysis

Description

The function enables to rank gene selection methods/method(s) under a multi-criteria decision making set up and further selection of optimum gene selection method using Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) approach.

Usage

topsis.meth(x)

Arguments

x

x is a M by C data frame representing the performance value of the methods under different criteria, where rows are the methods and columns are the criteria. The performance of the methods are adjudged based on mangitude of the criteria (i.e. higher the criteria value better is the method).
