Slots/List Components

This class contains no slots (other than .Data), but objects should contain the following list components:

Cy3: numeric matrix containing the green (cy3) foreground intensities.
Id: Ids from all the observations.
Zscore: The result of (R - mean) / sd that define an intensity-dependent Z-score threshold to identify differential expression.

All of these matrices should have the same dimensions.

Methods

This class inherits directly from class list so any operation appropriate for lists will work on objects of this class.

Size of the sliding window

Value

A dataSet object with attributes Cy3, Cy5, Id, Z-score.

Examples

data(Simon)
# Background Correction
c.spot <- bg.correct(Simon)
#Normalized data
n.spot <- grid.norm(c.spot,23,24)
#Filter spot
f.spot <- filter.spot(n.spot)
#Replicate filtering
u.spot <- spotUnique(f.spot)
#Zscore analysis
s.spot <- Zscore(u.spot)

Z-score Data Visualization: R vs I or M vs A

Description

This function allows to plot R-values vs I-values or M-values vs A-values for identifying differential expression.

Usage

Zscore.plot(dataSet.spot, Zscore.min, Zscore.max, all, col)

Arguments

dataSet.spot

Spot Object

Zscore.min

The lower value in a range, if Zscore.min = NULL then the file will contain all values bellow Zscore.max

Zscore.max

The greater value in a range, if Zscore.max = NULL then file will be contain all values above Zscore.min. Both values, Zscore.min and Zscore.max can not be NULL

all

Plot all the observations in four sets: Z < 1, 1 < Z < 1.5, 1.5 < Z < 2, Z > 2

col

Color in which the pioints of the plot will be shown where only the points from center are plot. This argument must be quoted and the possible values it can take are the same from the colors function in the R base package.

Examples

data(WT.dataset)
Zscore.plot(WT.dataset, Zscore.min = 1, Zscore.max = 2)

Z-score Window

Description

This function display the window that show the results after the Z-score. This window allow:

1. Show the plots of the up and down generated with the function Zscore.plot regulated spots in: Zscore < 1 sd 1 sd < Zscore < 1.5 sd 1.5 sd < Zscore < 2 sd Zscore > 2 sd and All the points

2. Save the plots in pdf and save the results in an output file

3. Gene annotations. Denote any gene information beyond the expression level data.

This is just a function for the GUI, and can not be used in the command line.

Usage

Zscore.points(type,text,envir, swap)

Arguments

type

Type of analysis done: "ri" is for a R-I analysis and "ma" is for M-A analysis

text

The text for the text area of the history of the project

envir

Environment where the variables are stored

swap

Is this a swap analysis or an individual analysis
