CausalR (version 1.4.3)

CalculateSignificance: calculate overall significance p-value

Description

Calculates the p-value of a score given the hypothesis score and the distribution table, using either the quartic or the (faster) cubic algorithm

Usage

CalculateSignificance(hypothesisScore, predictionListStats, experimentalResultStats, epsilon = 1e-05, useCubicAlgorithm = TRUE, use1bAlgorithm = TRUE)

Arguments

hypothesisScore

score for a particular hypothesis

predictionListStats

numbers of predicted up-regulated, predicted down-regulated and ambiguous predictions predicted by the algorithm

experimentalResultStats

numbers of up-regulated, down-regulated and not significantly changed transcripts in the experimental data

epsilon

threshold that is used when calculating the p-value using the cubic algorithm

useCubicAlgorithm

use the cubic algorithm, defaults to TRUE

use1bAlgorithm

use the 1b version of the algorithm, defaults to TRUE used to calculate the p-value

Value

the resulting p-value
