Description

Function computes R (average rank across studies) and Q (sum of the squared deviations of each study's rank for the gene from the mean of the ranks for that gene)

Usage

compute.RQ(RAN)

Arguments

RAN

matrix with rank of genes as produced by rank.genes, with rows coresponding to genes and columns coresponding to studies

Value

matrix with first column of R statistic and second of Q statistic
