Fold change and p-value estimations for simulations

Usage

deseq_fun_est(
  metadata_list,
  countdata_list,
  alpha_level = 0.1,
  group_colname,
  sample_colname,
  num_cores = 1,
  ref_name = NULL
)

Arguments

metadata_list

: list of metadata

countdata_list

: list of otu count data

alpha_level

The significance level for determining differential expression. Default is 0.1.

group_colname

column names of the groups or conditions

sample_colname

column names of the samples

num_cores

: number of cores

ref_name

reference level for fold change calculation. If NULL, the reference level is determined automatically — by default, the factor level that comes first is used as the reference.

Value

A list logfoldchange log fold change estimates

logmean is the log mean count for taxa (arithmetic mean for taxa across all subjects)

dispersion: dispersion estimates for each taxa

deseq_estimate is a dataframe containing results from deseq baseMean,log2FoldChange, lfcSE, pvalue, padj

normalised_count is the normalised count data
