This function performs numerous pair-wise correlation analyses of genes.
Within each such correlation the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) and the probability p value are calculated.
Usage
pearsonCor(expression, ctVal = TRUE)
Arguments
expression
a matrix of expression levels. Each row corresponds to a sample and each column to a gene.
ctVal
a logical value indicating data type. If ct-values are input, ctVal=TRUE, otherwise, ctVal=FALSE.
Value
A matrix of the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) and the probability p value.
