sparsebn (version 0.1.2)

cytometryDiscrete: The discrete cytometry network

Description

Data and network for analyzing the flow cytometry experiment from Sachs et al. (2005) [1]. The data is a cleaned and discretized version of the raw data (see cytometryContinuous for details) from these experiments.

Usage

data(cytometryDiscrete)

Format

A list with three components:

• dag An edgeList containing the consensus network (11 nodes, 17 edges).

• data A data.frame with 11 variables and 5400 observations.

• ivn A list specifying which nodes are under intervention in each observation. Compatible with the input to sparsebnData.

Details

After cleaning and pre-processing, the raw continuous measurements have been binned into one of three levels: low = 0, medium = 1, or high = 2. Due to the pre-processing, the discrete data contains fewer observations (n = 5400) compared to the raw, continuous data.
