deltaccd (version 1.0.2)

calcCCD: Calculate clock correlation distance (CCD).

Description

Quantify the similarity of gene co-expression between a reference and a test dataset. Statistical significance is calculated using permutation of the genes.

Usage

calcCCD(
  refCor,
  emat,
  groupVec = NULL,
  refEmat = NULL,
  nPerm = 1000,
  geneNames = NULL,
  dopar = FALSE,
  scale = FALSE
)

Arguments

refCor

Correlation matrix to be used as the reference, such as comes from getRefCor(). Should contain Spearman correlation values.

emat

Matrix of expression values, where each row corresponds to a gene and each column corresponds to a sample. The rownames and colnames of refCor should be present in the rownames of emat. For the p-value calculation, it is important that emat include all measured genes, not just those in refCor.

groupVec

Optional vector indicating the group to which group each sample belongs. If not provided, the function assumes all samples belong to the same group.

refEmat

Optional expression matrix for calculating co-expression for the reference, with the same organization as emat. Only used if refCor is not provided.

nPerm

Number of permutations for assessing statistical significance.

geneNames

Optional vector indicating a subset of genes in refCor, emat, and/or refEmat to use for calculating the CCD.

dopar

Logical indicating whether to process features in parallel. Make sure to register a parallel backend first.

scale

Logical indicating whether to scale CCD by the number of gene pairs.

Value

A data.table with columns for group name, CCD, and p-value.
