compute.pairw.cor.z: Function to compute the Z transformation of the pairwise correlations for a list of datasets

Description

This function computes the Z transformation of the meta-estimate of pairwise correlation coefficients for a set of genes from a list of gene expression datasets.

Usage

compute.pairw.cor.z(datas, method = c("pearson"))

Arguments

datas
List of datasets. Each dataset is a matrix of gene expressions with samples in rows and probes in columns, dimnames being properly defined. All the datasets must have the same probes.
method
Estimator for correlation coefficient, can be either pearson or spearman.

Value

  • zZ transformation of the meta-estimate of correlation coefficients.
  • seStandard error of the Z transformation of the meta-estimate of correlation coefficients.
  • nnNumber of samples used to compute the meta-estimate of correlation coefficients.
