callEnrichedRegions: Detection of enriched regions

Description

This function is used to locate putative enriched regions.

Usage

callEnrichedRegions(MatScore, dMax=600, dMerge=300, nProbesMin=8, method="score", threshold=5, verbose=FALSE)

Arguments

MatScore

This object contains an Range Data file

dMax

An integer value. The sliding window side of which the adjacent probes are to average upon in order to compute the rMAT score.

dMerge

An integer value. The maximum size to merge adjacent probes and categorize them as one region for scores of adjacent probes uniformly above the input threshold.

nProbesMin

An integer value. The minimum number of probes to average upon. If the number of probes within the interval is less than nProbesMin, the rMAT score of the region will not be computed.

method

A character string value equal to "score", "pValue" or "FDR". "score" denotes the method of calling enriched regions based sliding widow scores. "pValue" denotes the method of calling enriched regions based on p-values. Method "FDR" uses an FDR procedure to call regions. See Details below.

threshold

An integer value. The threshold of rMAT Score to be labeled as an enriched region. For method=1 or 3, the higher the score, the more confident we are about enriched regions. For method=2, the lower the score, the more confident we are about enriched regions.

verbose

A logical value. If verbose is TRUE, progress information would be displayed.

Details

For more details on the calculation of the rMAT score, pvalues, etc, please refer to the following paper: Johnson et al. Model-based analysis of tiling-arrays for ChIP-chip. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (2006) vol. 103 (33) pp. 12457-62
