Calculate adjustments for library size

Source: R/sampleDepth.R

For a given data set calculate the per-sample coverage adjustments. Hector Corrada's group proposed calculating the sum of the coverage for genes below a given sample quantile. In this function, we calculate the sample quantiles of interest by sample, and then the sum of the coverage for bases below or equal to quantiles of interest. The resulting values are transformed log2(x

  • scalefac)

to avoid very large numbers that could potentially affect the stability of the F-statistics calculation. The sample coverage adjustments are then used in makeModels for constructing the null and alternative models. 
sampleDepth(collapsedFull, probs = c(0.5, 1), scalefac = 32, ...)

Arguments

collapsedFull

The full coverage data collapsed by sample as produced by collapseFullCoverage.

probs

Number(s) between 0 and 1 representing the quantile(s) of interest. For example, 0.5 is the median.

scalefac

Number added to the sample coverage adjustments before the log2 transformation.

...

Arguments passed to other methods and/or advanced arguments. Advanced arguments:

verbose

If TRUE basic status updates will be printed along the way.

nonzero

If TRUE only the nonzero counts are used to calculate the library size adjustment. Default: TRUE.

center

If TRUE the sample coverage adjustements are centered. In some cases, this could be helpful for interpretation purposes. Default: FALSE.

Value

A matrix (vector of length(probs) == 1) with the library size depth adjustments per sample to be used in makeModels. The number of rows corresponds to the number of quantiles used for the sample adjustments.
