Get Labels for Expected Differential Expression

This function assigns labels to genes based on whether their actual effect estimates indicate differential expression according to a given threshold and alternative hypothesis.

Usage

getLabelExpected(comparison_df, coeff_threshold, alt_hypothesis)

Arguments

comparison_df

A data frame containing comparison results with actual effect estimates.

coeff_threshold

The threshold value for determining differential expression.

alt_hypothesis

The alternative hypothesis for comparison. Possible values are "greater", "less", and "greaterAbs".

Value

A modified data frame with an additional column indicating if the gene is differentially expressed.

Examples

# Generate a sample comparison data frame
comparison_data <- data.frame(
  geneID = c("gene1", "gene2", "gene3"),
  actual = c(0.5, -0.3, 0.8)
)

# Get labels for expected differential expression
labeled_data <- getLabelExpected(comparison_data, coeff_threshold = 0.2, alt_hypothesis = "greater")
