TFMPvalue (version 0.0.9)

TFMpv2sc: Compute score from P-value.

Description

Computes the score threshold associated with a P-value.

Usage

TFMpv2sc(mat, pvalue, bg=c(A=0.25, C=0.25, G=0.25, T=0.25),
         type=c("PFM", "PWM"))

Value

The score is returned based on the matrix, given P-value.

Arguments

mat

The input matrix. It can be a Position Frequency Matrix (PFM) or Position Weight Matrix (PWM) in log ratio. The matrix must have row names with "A", "C", "G", "T".

pvalue

The required P-value.

bg

The background frequency of the sequences. A numeric vector with names "A", "C", "G", "T".

type

The type of input matrix. Can be "PFM" or "PWM".
