findAllOutliers {beadarray}R Documentation

Find outliers on array

Description

Function to find all beads which are outliers for their particular bead type on a given array.

Usage

findAllOutliers(BLData, array, log=FALSE, n=3)

Arguments

BLData an BeadLevelList object containing bead level data
array numeric value specifying which array we want to find outliers on
log if TRUE the log2 intensities will be used to calculate outliers
n Specify a cut-off for outliers as n median absolute deviations from the mean. The default value is 3

Details

We find the outliers for each bead type on the array in turn using the findBeadStatus function and keep a list of the outliers found. By default, outliers for a particular bead type are determined using a 3 MAD cut-off from the mean.

Value

numeric vector giving the row indices of BLData (in the range 1 to total number of beads on the array) of all the beads that are outliers for their bead type.
