gene2pathway_test {seq2pathway} | R Documentation

## A wrapper function to perform gene2pathway test.

### Description

The function includes two part, one runs the classical Fisher's exact test, the other runs novel gene2pathway test.

### Usage

    gene2pathway_test(dat, DataBase="GOterm", FisherTest=TRUE, EmpiricalTest=FALSE,
                     method=c("FAIME", "KS-rank", "cumulative-rank"),
                     genome=c("hg38","hg19","mm10","mm9"), alpha=5,
                     logCheck=FALSE, na.rm=FALSE, B=100, min_Intersect_Count=5)

### Arguments

`dat` | A data frame of gene expression or a matrix of sequencing-derived gene-level measurements. The rows of dat correspond to genes, and the columns correspond to sample profile (eg. Chip-seq peak scores, somatic mutation p-values, RNS-seq or micro-array gene expression values). Note that the rows must be labeled by official gene symbol. The values contained in dat should be either finite or NA.
`DataBase` | A character string assigns an R GSA.genesets object to define gene-set. User can call GSA.read.gmt to load customized gene-sets with a .gmt format. If not specified, GO defined gene sets (BP,MF,CC) will be used.
`FisherTest` | A Boolean value. By default is TRUE to excute the function of the Fisher's exact test. Otherwise, only excutes the function of gene2pathway test.
`EmpiricalTest` | A Boolean value. By default is FALSE for multiple-sample dat. When true, gene2pathway_test calculates empirical p-values for gene-sets.
`method` | A character string determines the method to calculate the pathway scores. Currently, "FAIME" (default), "KS-rank", and "cumulative-rank" are supported.
`genome` | A character specifies the genome type. Currently, choice of "hg38", "hg19", "mm10", and "mm9" is supported.
`alpha` | A positive integer, 5 by default. This is a FAIME-specific parameter. A higher value puts more weights on the most highly-expressed ranks than the lower expressed ranks.
`logCheck` | A Boolean value. By default is FALSE. When true, the function takes the log-transformed values of gene if the maximum value of sample profile is larger than 20.
`na.rm` | A Boolean value indicates whether to keep missing values or not when method="FAIME". By default is FALSE.
`B` | A positive integer assigns the total number of random sampling trials to calculate the empirical pvalues. By default is 100.
`min_Intersect_Count` | A number decides the cutoff of the minimum number of intersected genes when reporting Fisher's exact tested results.

### Value

A list or data frame. If the parameter "FisherTest" is true, the result is a list including both reports for Fisher's exact test and the gene2pathway test. Otherwise, only reports the gen2pathway tested results.

### Examples

    data(dat_chip)
    data(MsigDB_C5,package="seq2pathway.data")
    #generate a demo GSA.genesets object
    demoDB <- MsigDB_C5
    x=100
    for(i in 1:3) demoDB[[i]]<-MsigDB_C5[[i]][1:x]

    res<-gene2pathway_test(dat=head(dat_chip), DataBase=demoDB,
    		FisherTest=FALSE, EmpiricalTest=FALSE,
            method="FAIME", genome="hg19", min_Intersect_Count=1)
    # check ther result
    names(res)
    res[[1]]
    res[[2]]
