| runSAM {EMA} | R Documentation |
Performs a Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM). It is possible to perform one and two class analyses using either a modified t-statistic or a (standardized) Wilcoxon rank statistic, and a multiclass analysis using a modified F-statistic. Moreover, this function provides a SAM procedure for categorical data such as SNP data and the possibility to employ an user-written score function.
runSAM(data, labels, nbpermut = 500, q = 0.05, plot = TRUE, method ="d.stat",var.equal = TRUE, include.zero = FALSE, paired = FALSE, seed=123)
data |
A matrix, a data frame, or an ExpressionSet object. Each row of 'data' (or 'exprs(data)', respectively) must correspond to a gene, and each column to a sample. |
labels |
A vector of length 'ncol(data)' containing the class labels of the samples. In the two class unpaired case, 'labels' should be a vector containing 0's (specifying the samples of, e.g., the control group) and 1's (specifying, e.g., the case group). In the two class paired case, 'labels' can be either a numeric vector or a numeric matrix. If it is a vector, then 'labels' has to consist of the integers between -1 and -n/2 (e.g., before treatment group) and between 1 and n/2 (e.g., after treatment group), where n is the length of 'labels' and k is paired with -k, k=1,...,n/2. If 'labels' is a matrix, one column should contain -1's and 1's specifying, e.g., the before and the after treatment samples, respectively, and the other column should contain integer between 1 and n/2 specifying the n/2 pairs of observations. |
nbpermut |
A numeric value specifying the number of permutation. |
q |
A numeric value specifying the FDR threshold. see details. |
plot |
A logical value specifying if drawing plots or not. |
method |
A character string or a name specifying the method/function that should be used in the computation of the expression scores d. If 'method = d.stat', a modified t-statistic or F-statistic, respectively, will be computed as proposed by Tusher et al. (2001). If 'method = wilc.stat', a Wilcoxon rank sum statistic or Wilcoxon signed rank statistic will be used as expression score. For an analysis of categorical data such as SNP data, 'method' can be set to 'chisq.stat'. In this case Pearson's ChiSquare statistic is computed for each row. If the variables are ordinal and a trend test should be applied (e.g., in the two-class case, the Cochran-Armitage trend test), 'method = trend.stat' can be employed. |
var.equal |
A logical value. If 'method=d.stat', TRUE for student test , FALSE for Welch test. |
include.zero |
A numeric value specifying if sO=0 is possible. |
paired |
A logical value specifying if paired test or not. |
seed |
Seed initialization for results reproducibility. |
SAM has it own FDR procedure which allows to find significant genes for a fixed threshold 'q'. The genes' signicance found by SAM is not based on the adjusted pvalues (qvalues). That's why we do not report them.
A matrix with the probes ID, the statistics, the raw p-values, and the significance (according to SAM FDR procedure).
