parmigene (version 1.1.1)

clr: Context Likelihood or Relatedness Network

Description

A function that infers the interaction network using the CLR algorithm.

Usage

clr(mi)

Value

A square weighted adjacency matrix of the inferred network.

Arguments

mi

matrix of the mutual information.

Details

CLR computes the score

$$sqrt(z_i^2 + z_j^2)$$

for each pair of variables \(i, j\), where

$$z_i = max(0, ( I(X_i;X_j)-mean(X_i) ) / sd(X_i))$$

and \(mean(X_i)\) and \(sd(X_i)\) are the mean and the standard deviation of the mutual information values \(I(X_i;X_k)\) for all \(k=1,\ldots,n\).

By default, the function uses all the available cores. You can set the actual number of threads used to N by exporting the environment variable OMP_NUM_THREADS=N.
