A pipeline to do network analyses in Wang et al 2012 for Arora S et al 2010

Description

This pipeline function reproducing results in Wang X et al., 2012 for RNAi screening data of Ewing's sarcoma in Arora S et al., 2010.

Usage

Arora2010.pipeline(par4BM=list(model="global", metric="cosine", nPerm=20),
par4PAN=list(type="SNR", log=TRUE, sign=TRUE, cutoff=log(10), filter=FALSE),
par4ModuleSearch=list(nboot=10000, metric="cosine2", hclustMethod="average", 
filter=FALSE))

Arguments

par4BM

a list of parameters for beta-mixture modelling (see Arora2010.BMfitting) for details.

par4PAN

a list of parameters for inferring a posterior association network (see Arora2010.InferPAN) for details.

par4ModuleSearch

a list of parameters for seaching enriched functional gene modules (see Arora2010.ModuleSearchByPvclust) for details.

Details

This function reproduces results of network inference in Wang X et al., 2012 for RNAi screening data of Ewing's sarcoma in Arora S et al., 2010.:

(1) Beta-mixture modelling of functional gene associations (see Arora2010.BMfitting)) for details.

(2) Inferring a posterior association network (see Arora2010.InferPAN)) for details.

(3) Searching enriched gene modules by pvclust (see Arora2010.ModuleSearchByPvclust)) for details.

(4) Pathway analyses (see Arora2010.hypergeo)) for details.

Value

All results will be saved in the current work directory.
