lumi (version 2.24.0)

estimateLumiCV: Estimate the coefficient of variance matrix of LumiBatch object

Description

Estimate the coefficient of variance matrix of LumiBatch object for each measurement or probe.

Usage

estimateLumiCV(x.lumi, type = c("measurement", "probe"), ifPlot = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x.lumi

a LumiBatch object

type

estimate the coefficient of variance of each measurement or each probe

ifPlot

determince whether to plot the density plot or not

...

optional arguments to plot.

Value

A matrix of coefficient of variance

Details

By default, the coefficient of variance is the ratio of the mean and variance of the bead expression values. Basically, it is the ration of exprs and se.exprs element of LumiBatch object. If the type is "probe", it is the ratio of the mean and variance of probe expression profile.
