UNAGI.marker_discovery.dynamic_markers.scoreAgainstBackground

UNAGI.marker_discovery.dynamic_markers.scoreAgainstBackground(background, input, all=False, mean=None, std=None)

Calculate the p-value of the input gene expression change based on the background gene expression change.

Parameters:

• background (the background gene expression change)

• input (the input gene expression change)

• all (if all is True, the input gene expression change will be compared with all the background gene expression changes. Otherwise, the input gene expression change will be compared with each background gene expression change.)

• mean (the mean of the background gene expression change)

• std (the standard deviation of the background gene expression change)

Returns:

cdf (np.float) – p-value of the input gene expression change
