miRLAB (version 1.2.2)

Borda: Ensemble method for miRNA target prediction using Borda count election

Description

Use the Borda count election method to integrate the rankings from different miRNA target prediction methods

Usage

Borda(listCEmatrices)

Arguments

listCEmatrices

a list of matrices that include the correlation coefficients/causal effects/scores resulting from different target prediction methods

Value

• a matrix of ranking scores (averaging all the rankings from different methods). Columns are miRNAs and rows are mRNAs
