DiffAnalysis {anapuce}R Documentation

Differential Analysis for paired data

Description

Performs the differential analysis from normalised paired microarray data according to different ways of variance modelling and computes lists of differentially expressed genes according different multiple testing procedures.

Usage

DiffAnalysis(fileIN = "resNorm.txt", n = 3, ind.array = 1:2, name.A = "A", name.M = "M.norm", fileOUT = "ListOfGenes.txt", fileDelete = "GenesOutOfAnalysis.txt", procs = c("bonferroni", "BH"), alpha = c(0.05, 0.05), dyeswap = TRUE, indDS = c(2), fileID = NULL, function.trt = NULL, by.var = "ID", varmixt.meth = FALSE, header = TRUE, sep = "\t", sep.write = "\t", dec.write = ".", ...)

Arguments

fileIN normalized data set.
n number of identificant columns.
ind.array the indices of arrays to analyze.
name.A character string containing a regular expression contained in the columnames corresponding to the A values.
name.M character string containing a regular expression contained in the columnames corresponding to the M values.
fileOUT output data file.
fileDelete output data file containing the list of withdrawn genes.
procs adjusting p-values procedures to be used.
alpha values of the first type error to be used in the different procedures.
dyeswap logical indicating whether the design is a dye swap.
indDS index of arrays related to dye swap.
fileID file giving information about genes.
function.trt function to be applied before differential analysis.
by.var argument passed to function.trt.
varmixt.meth logical indicating whether to perform the variance modelling proposed by Delmar et al. (2005).
header a logical value indicating whether the file contains the names of the variables as its first line. Used in the read.table function.
sep the field separator string to use in the read.table function.
sep.write the field separator string to use in the write.table function.
dec.write the string to use for decimal points in the write.table function.
... Further arguments to be passed to read.table.

Details

This function performs a differential analysis in the gene-specific and homoscedastic cases. If varmixt.meth = TRUE, the method used is the method proposed by Delmar et al. (2005), (the same as coded in the vm.analysis.paired function from the varmixt package.)

Value

By default these following files are created
- one list of differentially expressed genes by procedure
- The list of withdrawn genes
- The list of all the genes
An R object is returned if function return value is assigned.
