Assume observed data approximately follow Poisson Distribution. Apply VST procedure to transform the data as approximate normal with constant variance of 1
Usage
NormTransformation(data)
Arguments
data
Input ChIP-seq data (counts), which approximately follow Poisson Distribution.
Value
After VST transformation, the return data matrix would follow Normal Distribution with a constant variance 1
Details
Please note the input data can be a single value, a vector or a matrix. If it is a matrix, the default format is N row by M column. Each row represents for one gene, and each column represents for one bin.
