Matrix or data frame. Must be binary data such that the first column must contain case/control dummy coded variable, as function is only approprite for binary data.
nMarkers
Maximum number of markers to include in creation of sum.
targetVector
Indicate "binary" for target vector with two options (e.g., case/control). Indicate "nonbinary" for target vector with real numbers.
times
Numeric. Indicates the number of replications to run with randomization.
optimize
Criteria to optimize if targetVector = "binary." Indicate "pval" to optimize the p-value corresponding to the t-test distinguishing case and control. Indicate "auc" to optimize the AUC.
verbose
Logical. Indicate TRUE to print activity at each iteration to console. Defaults to FALSE.
Value
A data frame containing the chosen markers and their assigned weight (-1 or 1)
The optimal AUC, pval, or correlation for the classification.
aucHist A histogram of the AUCs across replications, if applicable.
