calcRss {attract} | R Documentation

## Function calculates the average RSS for a set of cluster assignments.

### Description

Function calculates the average RSS for a set of cluster assignments.

### Usage

    calcRss(exprs.dat, cl, class.vector)

### Arguments

`exprs.dat` | a `matrix` of gene expression values.
`cl` | a `vector` of cluster assignments.
`class.vector` | a `vector` specifying the group membership of the samples.

### Details

This function is called internally by `findSynexprs`. For an informative cluster, the RSS values should be very small relative to those produced by the informativeness metric (the MSS values).

### Value

A numeric value representing the average RSS value for this set of cluster assignments.

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    library(cluster)
    data(subset.loring.eset)
    clustObj <- agnes(as.dist(1-t(cor(exprs(subset.loring.eset)))))
    crss.vals <- NULL
    for( i in 1:10 ){
    	crss.vals <- c(crss.vals, calcRss(exprs(subset.loring.eset), cutree(clustObj,i), pData(subset.loring.eset)$celltype))
    }
    # The RSS values are expected to be smaller than the informativeness metric values in the presence of genuine cluster structure.

    ## End(Not run)
