stat_flatline_test: Flat Line Test for Conservation Pattern
Description
Perform a flat line test to assess whether the transcriptomic index
profile shows a flat (non-varying) pattern across developmental stages.
Usage
stat_flatline_test(phyex_set, ...)
Value
A test result object containing p-value and test statistics
Arguments
phyex_set
A PhyloExpressionSet object
...
Additional arguments passed to stat_generic_conservation_test
Details
The flat line test evaluates whether the TXI profile remains constant across
developmental stages by testing the variance of the profile against a null
distribution. A significant result indicates rejection of the flat line pattern.
