fit.em: Probability of expresison from mixture distribution for a single gene.

Description

This core function fits two-component normal-uniform mixture distribution, and extracts probability of over/under expression for all samples in all genes.

Usage

fit.em(x, cl, threshold=1e-06)

Arguments

x
A numeric vector, especially expression values for a particular gene.
cl
A vector of 0s and 1s. Use 1 for normal phenotype and 0 for non-normal phenotype. Note that this is the opposite of POE MCMC. If all samples are of unknown phenotype or of the same one, give vector of zeros. When class information is provided, conditional estimation of the mixture is applied.
threshold
Criterion for convergence in likelihood

Value

  • exprEstimated POE
  • aMinimum (adjusted) of Raw Expression
  • bMaximum (adjusted) of Raw Expression
  • sigmasqEstimated variance of normal component
  • muEstimated mean of normal component
  • PiProbability that the gene is over/under expressed on average across the samples
  • lik.recTrajectory of likelihood during EM
