The \(p \times p\) target Cor is computed from the \(n \times
p\) data matrix. It it a modified version of target G. In particular,
it tests the correlations (with a significance level of 0.05) and sets the
non-significant correlations to zero before the mean correlation
\(\bar{r}\) is computed.
Usage
targetCor(x, genegroups)
Value
A \(p \times p\) matrix.
Arguments
x
A \(n \times p\) data matrix.
genegroups
A list of genes obtained using the database KEGG, where
each entry itself is a list of pathway names this genes belongs to. If a
gene does not belong to any gene functional group, the entry is NA.
