Apply Fisher's Exact Tests To Two Amplicon Frequency Sets Of The Same Sample
Description
Implements Fisher's exact test to detect amplicons with significant
deviating read numbers between two amplicon sets of the same sample. The
p-values of the Fisher's exact test are corrected for multiple testing
by computation of the false discovery rates q. This function is intended
to help identifying reads that may be the results of experimental artefacts.
(The calculation can take some time depending on the size of the data sets and
the computing power.)
A list or a data frame containing amplicon occurences / number of reads per amplicon (integer values).
B
Optional. A list or a data frame containing amplicon occurences.
sample.names
Optional. A vector or list of characters with names for the amplicon pairs.
correction
Optional. Specifies the correction method for the p-values from Fisher's exact test.
Accepts one of the following characters: "holm", "hochberg", "hommel","bonferroni", "BH", "BY","fdr" and "none". Default is "fdr".
For more details see p.adjust.

Arguments passed to the internally called fisher.test function.
Details
If only A is specified, it is assumed that the list elements 1 &
2, 3 & 4 etc. of A are amplicon data of the same sample. In case A and B
are specified, the ith frequency set of A and B
are combined. For each amplicon data pair, frequencies at the corresponding
positions in the lists are assumed to belong to the same amplicon. It is required, that two frequency sets that belong to the same sample, an ampliconduo, have the same length. The ampliconduo function iterates over all amplicon pairs and performs the following tasks:
amplicons with frequency zero in both samples are removed. Position information is retained.
For each amplicon Fisher's exact test using the method fisher.test
is performed. The p-value, odds ratio and confidence interval are returned. Via the ..., arguments
conf.level, or and alternative can be passed to the fisher.test function call. Default values are conf.level = 0.95, or = 1 and alternative = "two.sided".
The p-values are corrected using the p.adjust function. By default the method by Benjamini & Hochberg (1995) is used.
Setting the correction argument to any of the following characters "holm", "hochberg", "hommel", "bonferroni", "BH", "BY", "fdr", "none", the adjustment method for the p-values can be changed. See function p.adjust.
The AmpliconDuo package implements further methods to visualize and filter the returned ampliconduo data frames.
Value
A list of data frames, one for each amplicon pair, that will be called ampliconduo data frame in the following. List entries are named according to the specified sample.names or numbered.
Each ampliconduo data frame has 9 columns
freqA: frequencies of amplicon set A
freqB: frequencies of amplicon set B (taken from argument B if specified)
p: p-values calculated with Fisher's exact test
OR: odds ratio calculated with Fisher's exact test
CI.low: lower confidence limit for OR
CI.up: upper confidence limit for OR
rejected: logical, indicating whether the amplicon was rejected
sample: sample name taken from sample.name if specified, same for all rows in a given data frame
