Identifies the most variable cluster based on the mean trajectory of each cluster. This cluster is identified for the purpose of illustration in an rmarkdown file.

find_most_variable_cluster(time_object, mean_ts_data)

Arguments

time_object

A timeseries object

mean_ts_data

A dataframe containing the mean trajectory for each cluster

Value

The name of the most variable cluster

Examples

TS_object<-create_example_object_for_R()
TS_object <- normalize_timeSeries_with_deseq2(time_object=TS_object)
#> converting counts to integer mode
#Perform conditional differential gene expression analysis
TS_object<-conditional_DE_wrapper(TS_object,vignette_run=TRUE)
TS_object<-temporal_DE_wrapper(TS_object,do_all_combinations=TRUE,vignette_run=TRUE)
#Extract genes for PART clustering based on defined log(2)foldChange threshold
signi_genes<-select_genes_with_l2fc(TS_object)

#Use all samples, but implement a custom order. In this case it is reversed

samps_2<-sample_data$sample[sample_data$group==TS_groups[2]]

#Create the matrix that will be used for PART clustering

#> running Gprofiler on PART clusters
