svabaaddon: Addon batch effect adjustment using frozen SVA

Description

Performs addon batch effect adjustment using frozen SVA. Takes the output of performing svaba on a training data set and new batch data and correspondingly adjusts the test data to better match the adjusted training data according to the SVA model.

Usage

svabaaddon(params, x)

Arguments

params

object of class svatrain. Contains parameters necessary for addon batch effect adjustment with frozen SVA.

x

matrix. The covariate matrix of the new data. Observations in rows, variables in columns.

Value

• The adjusted covariate matrix of the test data.
