oncotypedx {genefu} | R Documentation

## Function to compute the OncotypeDX signature as published by Paik et al. in 2004.

### Description

This function computes signature scores and risk classifications from gene expression values following the algorithm used for the OncotypeDX signature as published by Paik et al. 2004.

### Usage

    oncotypedx(data, annot, do.mapping = FALSE, mapping, verbose = FALSE)

### Arguments

`data` | Matrix of gene expressions with samples in rows and probes in columns, dimnames being properly defined.
`annot` | Matrix of annotations with at least one column named "EntrezGene.ID", dimnames being properly defined.
`do.mapping` | `TRUE` if the mapping through Entrez Gene ids must be performed (in case of ambiguities, the most variant probe is kept for each gene), `FALSE` otherwise. Note that for Affymetrix HGU datasets, the mapping is not necessary.
`mapping` | Matrix with columns "EntrezGene.ID" and "probe" used to force the mapping such that the probes are not selected based on their variance.
`verbose` | `TRUE` to print informative messages, `FALSE` otherwise.

### Details

Note that for Affymetrix HGU datasets, the mapping is not necessary.

### Value

`score` | Continuous signature scores
`risk` | Binary risk classification, `1` being high risk and `0` being low risk.
`mapping` | Mapping used if necessary.
`probe` | If mapping is performed, this matrix contains the correspondence between the gene list (aka signature) and gene expression data.

### Examples

    ## load GENE70 signature
    data(sig.oncotypedx)
    ## load NKI dataset
    data(nkis)
    ## compute relapse score
    rs.nkis <- oncotypedx(data=data.nkis, annot=annot.nkis, do.mapping=TRUE)
    table(rs.nkis$risk)
