Control Settings for Counts Normalization — control

This control function allows for easy customization of the normalization settings.

Usage

control_normalize(
  log = TRUE,
  lib_sizes = NULL,
  prior_count = 1,
  fit_type = "parametric"
)

Arguments

log: (flag)
whether log2 values are returned, otherwise original scale is used.
lib_sizes: (NULL or counts)
library sizes, if NULL the vector with the sum of the counts for each of the samples will be used.
prior_count: (non-negative number)
average count to be added to each observation to avoid taking log of zero, used only when log = TRUE.
fit_type: (string)
method to estimate dispersion parameters in Negative Binomial model, used only when normalize() methods include vst and/or rlog. See estimateDispersions for details.

Value

List with the above settings used to perform the normalization procedure.

Note

To be used with the normalize() function.
