DODR (version 0.99.2)

HANOVA: ANOVA applied on harmonic regression

Description

Detection of differential between rhythms in two time series using llsq fits and ANOVA

Usage

HANOVA(val1, val2, times1, times2, period, norm = TRUE, verbose = options("verbose")[[1]])

Arguments

val1

matrix: data for values in first set. One column per sample, one row per time point

val2

matrix: data for values in second set. One column per sample, one row per time point

times1

vector: times of first set.

times2

vector: times of second set.

period

numeric: period of the oscillations. Same unit as the time points in times1 and times2

norm

boolean: whether to normalize the time series (division by mean), prior to the analysis.

verbose

boolean: verbosity.

Value

data frame with columns:

• p.value: P-value for difference between the two time series
• F: F score from the underlying ANOVA test
• diff: Measure for the difference between the two fits

Details

This test uses general ANOVA to test for differences between two time series. Therefore the time series are fitted to sine curves with a fixed period length and free phase and amplitude. In one case phase and amplitude have two be the same for both series, in the other case phase and amplitude could differ for the two series.
