fcrosTopN {fcros} | R Documentation |
This function allows to seach for the top N differentially expressed genes or changed probes. It uses the output results obtained using one of the following functions fcros(), fcros2(), fcrosMod(), pfco() or pfcoMod().
fcrosTopN(af, topN)
af |
This is an output object obtained using the functions fcros(), fcros2(), fcrosMod(), pfco() or pfcoMod(). |
topN |
The expected number of the top DE genes in the dataset used. |
This function returns a data frame containing 2 components
alpha |
Two threshold values for the down- and the up-regulated allowing to have the top N DE genes |
index |
The indexes of the top N DE genes |
