A data matrix for which the rows are genes and the columns are experiments, sorted by their pseudotime.
MACs_observ
The resulting matrix of MACs from running MAC_counter on the dataset
num_perms
The number of permutations to be performed. Default is 100.
max_lag_prop
The largest proportion of your experiments that you want the size of the lag to be. Recommended not to go beyond 1/3. Default value is 1/3.
FDR_cutoffs
The number of cutoffs between 0 and 1 to use for FDR analysis. Default value is 101, resulting in 0,0.01,0.02,...,0.98,0.99,1.
perm_file_name
The name to be used for resulting .csv file. I.e., using perm_file_name="mine" would create the file "perm_mine.csv"
Value
Returns a dataset with four columns: cors are the correlation cutoffs, MACs_observed are the number of observed correlations at that cutoff, MACs_ave_perm are the average number observed in the permuted datasets at that cutoff, and fdr is the false discovery rate (FDR) observed at that cutoff.
