GeneOverlap (version 1.8.0)

testGeneOverlap: Test function for the GeneOverlap class

Description

Perform Fisher's exact test based on the information supplied in the GeneOverlap object, i.e. gene list A, B and genome size. This function also calculates the Jaccard index. Will set the tested Boolean label after done.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'GeneOverlap':
testGeneOverlap(object)

Arguments

object

A GeneOverlap object.

Value

• A GeneOverlap object with valid p-value, odds ratio, Jaccard index and contingency table. The tested Boolean label is set to true. Use show or print to display a summary of the object. Use accessors to get information of each slot.
