| tranest2 {LMGene} | R Documentation |
A sub-function of tranest which search the best parameters for glog transformation.
tranest2(eS, starting = FALSE, lambda = 1000, alpha = 0, gradtol = 0.001, lowessnorm, method=1, model=NULL)
eS |
Array data. must be an ExpressionSet object. |
starting |
TRUE, if the given initial parameter values are used. |
lambda |
Initial parameter value for lambda. |
alpha |
Initial parameter value for alpha. |
gradtol |
a positive scalar giving the tolerance at which the scaled gradient is considered close enough to zero to terminate the algorithm. |
lowessnorm |
TRUE, if lowess method is going to be used. |
method |
Set optimization method; default is modified Gauss-Newton (nlm). See tranest. |
model |
Model in terms of vlist which is compared to transformed expression data. See tranest. |
The argument eS must be an ExpressionSet object from the Biobase package.
If you have a data in a matrix and information about the considered factors, then you
can use neweS to convert the data into an ExpressionSet object. Please see
neweS in more detail.
The model argument is an optional character string, constructed like the right-hand
side of a formula for lm. It specifies which of the variables in the ExpressionSet will
be used in the model and whether interaction terms will be included. If model=NULL,
it uses all variables from the ExpressionSet without interactions. Be careful of using
interaction terms with factors; this often leads to overfitting, which will yield an error.
tranpar |
A numeric vector containing the best parameter for 'lambda' and 'alpha'. |
