orderMEs: Put close eigenvectors next to each other

Description

Reorder given (eigen-)vectors such that similar ones (as measured by correlation) are next to each other.

Usage

orderMEs(MEs, greyLast = TRUE, 
         greyName = paste(moduleColor.getMEprefix(), "grey", sep=""), 
         orderBy = 1, order = NULL, 
         useSets = NULL,  verbose = 0, indent = 0)

Arguments

MEs
Module eigengenes in a multi-set format (see checkSets). A vector of lists, with each list corresponding to one dataset and the module eigengenes in the component data, that is MEs[[set
greyLast
Normally the color grey is reserved for unassigned genes; hence the grey module is not a proper module and it is conventional to put it last. If this is not desired, set the parameter to FALSE.
greyName
Name of the grey module eigengene.
orderBy
Specifies the set by which the eigengenes are to be ordered (in all other sets as well). Defaults to the first set in useSets (or the first set, if useSets is not given).
order
Allows the user to specify a custom ordering.
useSets
Allows the user to specify for which sets the eigengene ordering is to be performed.
verbose
Controls verbostity of printed progress messages. 0 means silent, nonzero verbose.
indent
A single non-negative integer controling indentation of printed messages. 0 means no indentation, each unit above zero adds two spaces.

Value

  • A vector of lists of the same type as MEs containing the re-ordered eigengenes.

Details

Ordering module eigengenes is useful for plotting purposes. For this function the order can be specified explicitly, or a set can be given in which the correlations of the eigengenes will determine the order. For the latter, a hierarchical dendrogram is calculated and the order given by the dendrogram is used for the eigengenes in all other sets.
