Expression data in the multi-set format (see checkSets). A vector of

rows corresponding to samples and columns to genes or probes.
A vector with one entry per column (gene or probe) in multiExpr, giving the module labels.
optional observation weights for data in multiExpr,
in the same format (and dimensions) as multiExpr.
These weights are used in calculation of KME, i.e., the correlation of module eigengenes with data in
multiExpr. The module eigengenes are not weighted in this calculation.
Optional specification of module eigengenes of the modules (moduleLabels) in data sets within
multiExpr. If not given, will be calculated.
A list specifying the consensus calculation. See details.
Logical: should module membership be considered singed? Signed membership should be used for signed (including signed hybrid) networks and means that negative module membership means the gene is not a member of the module. In other words, in signed networks negative kME values are not considered significant and the corresponding p-values will be one-sided. In unsigned networks, negative kME values are considered significant and the corresponding p-values will be two-sided.
Optional vector specifying which modules should be used. Defaults to all modules except the unassigned module.
Optional specification of meta-analysis weights for each input set. If given, must be a numeric vector
of length equal the number of input data sets (i.e., length(multiExpr)). These weights will be used
in addition to constant weights and weights proportional to number of samples (observations) in each set.
Function that calculates associations between expression profiles and eigengenes. See details.
List giving additional arguments to function corAndPvalueFnc. See details.
Name of the component of output of corAndPvalueFnc that contains the actual correlation.
Logical: should FDR be calculated?
Logical: should the rankPvalue function be used to obtain alternative
meta-analysis statistics?
Additional options for function rankPvalue. These include
na.last (default "keep"), ties.method (default "average"),
calculateQvalue (default copied from input getQvalues),
and pValueMethod (default "scale").
See the help file for rankPvalue for full details.
Names for the input sets. If not given, will be taken from names(multiExpr). If those are
NULL as well, the names will be "Set_1", "Set_2", ....
logical: should the grey module be excluded from the kME tables? Since the grey module is typically not a real module, it makes little sense to report kME values for it.
label that labels the grey module.
One of "equal", "rootDoF", "DoF", "user". Indicates which of the weights should be reported in the
output. If not given, all available weight types will be reported; this always includes "equal",
"rootDoF", "DoF", while "user" weights are reported if metaAnalysisWeights above is given.
Logical: should meta-analysis Z statistic in own module be returned as a column of the output?
Logical: should highest meta-analysis Z statistic across all modules and the corresponding module be returned as columns of the output?
Logical: should consensus KME (eigengene-based connectivity) statistic in own module be returned as a column of the output?
Logical: should highest consensus KME across all modules and the corresponding module be returned as columns of the output?
Logical: Should average KME be calculated?
Logical: should consensus KME be calculated?
Logical: should the meta-statistics be returned if the input data only have 1 set? For 1 set, meta- and individual kME values are the same, so meta-columns essentially duplicate individual columns.
Logical: should meta-analysis p-values corresponding to the KME meta-analysis Z statistics be calculated?
Logical: should FDR estimates for the meta-analysis p-values corresponding to the KME meta-analysis Z statistics be calculated?
Logical: should KME values for individual sets be returned?
Logical: should Z statistics corresponding to KME for individual sets be returned?
Logical: should p values corresponding to KME for individual sets be returned?
Logical: should FDR estimates corresponding to KME for individual sets be returned?
Logical: should gene ID (taken from column names of multiExpr) be included as the first column in
the output?
Optional data frame with rows corresponding to genes in multiExpr that should be included as part of
the output.
Logical: should weight type ("equal", "rootDoF", "DoF", "user") be included in appropriate
meta-analysis column names?

This function calculates several measures of (hierarchical) consensus KME (eigengene-based intramodular connectivity or fuzzy module membership) for all genes in all modules.
First, it calculates the meta-analysis Z statistics for correlations between genes and module eigengenes; this is known as the consensus module membership Z statistic. The meta-analysis weights can be specified by the user either explicitly or implicitly ("equal", "RootDoF" or "DoF").
Second, it can calculate the consensus KME, i.e., the hierarchical consensus of the KMEs (correlations with
eigengenes) across the individual sets. The consensus calculation is specified in the argument
consensusTree;
typically, the consensusTree used here will be the same as the one used for the actual consensus
network construction and module identification.
See newConsensusTree for details on how to specify consensus trees.
Third, the function can also calculate the (weighted) average KME using the meta-analysis weights; the average KME can be interpreted as the meta-analysis of the KMEs in the individual sets. This is related to but somewhat distinct from the meta-analysis Z statistics.
In addition to these, optional output also includes, for each gene, KME values in the module to which the gene is assigned as well as the maximum KME values and modules for which the maxima are attained. For most genes, the assigned module will be the one with highest KME values, but for some genes the assigned module and module of maximum KME may be different.
The function corAndPvalueFnc is currently
is expected to accept arguments x (gene expression profiles), y (eigengene expression
profiles), and alternative with possibilities at least "greater", "two.sided". If weights are
given, these are passed to corAndPvalueFnc as argument weights.x.
Any additional arguments can be passed via corOptions.
The function corAndPvalueFnc should return a list which at the least contains (1) a matrix
of associations of genes and eigengenes (this component should have the name given by corComponent),
and (2) a matrix of the corresponding p-values, named "p" or "p.value". Other components are optional but
for full functionality should include
(3) nObs giving the number of observations for each association (which is the number of samples less
number of missing data - this can in principle vary from association to association), and (4) Z
giving a Z static for each observation. If these are missing, nObs is calculated in the main
function, and calculations using the Z statistic are skipped.
signedKME for eigengene based connectivity in a single data set.
corAndPvalue, bicorAndPvalue for two alternatives for calculating correlations and the
corresponding p-values and Z scores. Both can be used with this function.
