extractPSSMAcc: Profile-based protein representation derived by PSSM (Position-Specific Scoring Matrix) and auto cross covariance

Description

Profile-based protein representation derived by PSSM (Position-Specific Scoring Matrix) and auto cross covariance

Usage

extractPSSMAcc(pssmmat, lag)

Arguments

pssmmat

The PSSM computed by extractPSSM.

lag

The lag parameter. Must be less than the number of amino acids in the sequence (i.e. the number of columns in the PSSM matrix).

Value

A length lag * 20^2 named numeric vector, the element names are derived by the amino acid name abbreviation (crossed amino acid name abbreviation) and lag index.

Details

This function calculates the feature vector based on the PSSM by running PSI-Blast and auto cross covariance tranformation.
