geneentropyfilter

Remove genes with low entropy expression values

Syntax

Mask = geneentropyfilter(Data,
                         'PropertyName', PropertyValue...)
[Mask, FData] = geneentropyfilter(Data)
[Mask, FData, FNames] = geneentropyfilter(Data, Names)

geneentropyfilter(..., 'Prctile', PrctileValue)

Arguments

Data

Matrix where each row corresponds to the experimental results for one gene. Each column is the results for all genes from one experiment.

Names

Cell array with the same number of rows as Data. Each row contains the name or ID of the gene in the data set.

Prctile

Property to specify a percentile below which gene data is removed. Enter a value from 0 to 100.

Description

Mask = geneentropyfilter(Data, 'PropertyName', PropertyValue...) identifies gene expression profiles in Data with entropy values less than the 10th percentile.

Mask is a logical vector with one element for each row in Data. The elements of Mask corresponding to rows with a variance greater than the threshold have a value of 1, and those with a variance less then the threshold are 0.

[Maks, FData] = geneentropyfilter(Data) returns a filtered data matrix (FData). FData can also be created using FData = Data(find(I),:).

[Mask, FData,FNames] = geneentropyfilter(Data, Names) returns a filtered names array (FNames), where Names is a cell array of the names of the genes corresponding to each row of Data. FNames can also be created using FNames = Names(I).

geneentropyfilter(..., 'Prctile', PrctileValue) removes from Data gene expression profiles with entropy values less than the percentile Prctile.

Examples

load yeastdata
[fyeastvalues, fgenes] = geneentropyfilter(yeastvalues,genes);
