Options
Type of correlation Type of correlation coefficient. Three types of correlations are possible: Pearson's r, Spearman rank correlation and Kendall tau correlation.
Selection regime Regime to treat multiple genes to compare with single gene. Several options are possible:
Max. correlation value to select - the maximal correlation value between expression profiles in gene set to query gene is evaluated;
Aver. correlation value to select - average correlation coefficient value is calculated;
Corr. for aver field values to select - mean expression values are calculated in the set of genes and their correlation for the query expression profile is calculated.
Correlation threshold type Type of threshold to select best correlating gene pairs. Several options are possible: Best N correlations ; Best % correlations; Correlation coefficient value; Select all pairs.
Correlation threshold value Threshold to select genes from List 1 on the basis of the their correlation coefficient value to genes from List 2.
Missing data treatment Option to treat missing data. Several options are possible : Substitute by means (missing data are substituted by expression means in corresponding field); Case-wise deletion (correlations/distances are calculated by excluding cases that have missing data for any of the selected variables, all correlations are based on the same set of data); Pair-wise deletion (correlations/distances between each pair of profiles are calculated from all fields/samples having valid data for those two profiles).
