getPatientOutlierMatrix {DriverNet} | R Documentation

## Compute the patient outlier matrix

### Description

Given a real-value patient expression matrix, compute the patient outlier matrix and remove the genes which are not expressed.

### Usage

    getPatientOutlierMatrix(patExpMatrix, th=2)

### Arguments

`patExpMatrix` | Patient Expression Matrix
`th` | The threshold, the default value is 2 ( the gene expression values outside the 2 standard deviation range are considered as outliers).

### Value

The output patOutMatrix is an input to the computeDrivers method
