normalizeData {dexus} | R Documentation

## Normalization of RNA-Seq count data.

### Description

Normalizes RNA-seq count data using previously published approaches. Each samples' read counts are corrected by a normalizing factor. The options are "RLE" by (Anders and Huber, 2010), and "upperquartile" by (Bullard et al., 2010).

### Usage

      normalizeData(X, normalization)

### Arguments

`X` | data a raw data matrix, where' columns are interpreted as samples and rows as genomic regions.
`normalization` | method used for normalizing the reads. RLE is the method used by (Anders and Huber, 2010), upperquartile is the Upper-Quartile method from (Bullard et al., 2010), and none deactivates normalization. (Default = "RLE").

### Value

"list" A list containing the normalized data (in its "X" component) as well as the size-factors used for the normalization ("sizeFactors").
