SIM (version 1.42.0)

SIM-package: Statistical Integration of Microarrays

Description

SIM is a statistical model to identify associations between two genomic datasets. Where one is assigned as dependent variable and the other as independent e.g. copy number measurements on several samples versus expression measurements on the same samples. A region of interest can be chosen to run the integrated analysis on either the same region for both dependent and independent datasets or different regions. For each dependent feature a P-value measures the association with the independent data, the contribution of each independent feature is given as Z-scores. The integrated analysis is based on the random-effect model for gene-sets as implemented in gt.

maybe something about annotation?

By default we use method.adjust = "BY" (Benjamini-Yekutieli) for multiple testing correction. This method accounts for dependence between measurements and is more conservative than "BH" (Benjamini-Hochberg). For details on the multiple testing correction methods see p.adjust. We have experienced that a rather low stringency cut-off on the BY-values of 20% allows the detection of associations for data with a low number of samples or a low frequency of abberations. False positives are rarely observed.

Make sure that the array probes are mapped to the same builds of the genome, and that the chrom.table used by the integrated.analysis is from the same build as well. See sim.update.chrom.table.
