DaMiR.iTSnorm {DaMiRseq} | R Documentation

## Normalization of Independent Test Set

### Description

This function aims to normalize properly an actual independent test set by taking information from the Learning set that will be used to transform the new sample(s).

### Usage

    DaMiR.iTSnorm(
      Learning_set,
      Ind_Test_set,
      normtype = c("vst", "rlog", "logcpm"),
      method = c("precise", "quick")
    )

### Arguments

`Learning_set` | A SummarizedExperiment object or a data frame/matrix of raw count data. The learning set is supposed to be a raw counts dataset of the expressed features (not all features). Rows and Cols should be features and samples, respectively.
`Ind_Test_set` | A SummarizedExperiment object or a data frame/matrix of raw count data. The independent test set is supposed to be a raw counts dataset with the same features of 'Learning_set'. Rows and Cols should be features and samples, respectively.
`normtype` | Type of normalization to be applied: `varianceStabilizingTransformation` (`vst`), `rlog` or `logcpm` are allowed; default is "`vst`".
`method` | Type of method to estimate the dispersion, applied to the independent test set to normalize data. Only 'precise' and 'quick' are allowed. In the first case, the dispersion is estimated by the Learning set and applied to the independent test set. In the second case, is estimated from the independent test set. Default is "precise". See details in dispersionFunction

### Details

The Learning_set is supposed to be a raw counts dataset of the expressed features. Moreover, the independent test set is supposed to be a raw counts dataset with the same features of 'Learning_set'. The independent test set is normalized, taking into account the dispersion parameter, estimated by the Learning set ('precise' method) or by the independent test set itself ('quick' method).

### Value

A matrix containing a normalized expression matrix (log2 scale)
