aldex.cor

A numeric vector of a continuous variable.

Arguments passed to <code>cor.test</code>.

This function uses the Monte Carlo instances from an
 <code>aldex.clr</code> object to correlate each log-ratio
 transformed feature vector with a continuous
 numeric variable. See <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/lr2cor?package=propr&version=3.1.8" data-mini-rdoc="propr::lr2cor">lr2cor</a></code>.

The bioinformatic evaluation of gene co-expression often begins with
correlation-based analyses. However, this approach lacks statistical validity
when applied to relative data. This includes, for example, biological count data
generated by high-throughput RNA-sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP),
ChIP-sequencing, Methyl-Capture sequencing, and other techniques. This package
implements several metrics for proportionality, including
phi [Lovell et al (2015) <DOI:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004075>] and
rho [Erb and Notredame (2016) <DOI:10.1007/s12064-015-0220-8>]. This package also
implements several metrics for differential proportionality. Unlike correlation,
these measures give the same result for both relative and absolute data.
