QSOrder: Quasi Sequence Order (QSOrder)

Description

This function computes the quasi-sequence-order for sequences. It is for amino acid pairs with d distances (d can be any number between 1 and 20). First, it calculates the frequencies of each amino acid ("A", "C",..., "Y"). Then, it normalizes the frequencies by dividing the frequency of an amino acid to the frequency of all amino acids plus the sum of tau values which is multiplied by W. tau values are given by function SOCNumber. For d bigger than 20, it computes tau for d in the range "1 to (nlag-20) * W" and normalizes them like before.

Usage

QSOrder(seqs, nlag = 25, W = 0.1, label = c())

Arguments

seqs

is a FASTA file with amino acid sequences. Each sequence starts with a '>' character. Also, seqs could be a string vector. Each element of the vector is a peptide/protein sequence.

nlag

is a numeric value which shows the maximum distance between two amino acids. Distances can be 1, 2, ..., or nlag.

W

(weight) is a tuning parameter.

label

is an optional parameter. It is a vector whose length is equivalent to the number of sequences. It shows the class of each entry (i.e., sequence).

Value

It returns a feature matrix which the number of rows equals to the number of sequences and the number of columns is (nlag*2). For each distance d, there are two values. One value for Granthman and another one for Schneider distance.

Details

Please find details about tau in function SOCNumber.
