testBaseline: Two-sided test of BASELINe PDFs

Description

testBaseline performs a two-sample signifance test of BASELINe posterior probability density functions (PDFs).

Usage

testBaseline(baseline, groupBy)

Arguments

baseline

Baseline object containing the db and grouped BASELINe PDFs returned by groupBaseline.

groupBy

string defining the column in the db slot of the Baseline containing sequence or group identifiers.

Value

A data.frame with test results containing the following columns:

• REGION: sequence region, such as "CDR" and "FWR".
• TEST: string defining the two group values compared.
• PVALUE: two-sided p-value for the comparison.
• FDR: FDR corrected PVALUE.

# Subset example data
data(ExampleDb, package="alakazam")
db <- subset(ExampleDb, ISOTYPE == "IgG")

# Calculate BASELINe
