Calculate fold change

gly_fold_change.Rd

Calculate fold change for a given expression matrix and group information. It could only be used for 2-group analysis. When you run this function, you will see message about "Ref Group" and "Test Group". "Ref Group" is the reference group, and "Test Group" is the test/treatment/case group.

Usage

gly_fold_change(exp, group_col = "group", add_info = TRUE)

Arguments

exp

A glyexp::GlycomicSE() or glyexp::GlycoproteomicSE() object, or another SummarizedExperiment.

group_col

The column name of the group information in the sample information.

add_info

A logical value. If TRUE (default), variable information from the experiment will be added to the result tibble. If FALSE, only the fold change results are returned.

Value

A list with three elements:

  • tidy_result: A tibble with fold change results containing the following columns:

    • variable: Variable name

    • log2fc: Log2 fold change (log2(group2_mean / group1_mean)) If more than two groups, two additional columns ref_group and test_group will be added.

  • raw_result: The raw result (same as tidy_result for this function)

  • meta_data: A list containing metadata from the input experiment
