Arguments

dataset_name

name of the dataset used to select significant DEGs from (specified as a string, name as in allStudies)

allstudies

a list containing all the datasets (most likely as SCE objects)

celltypes

a list containing the celltypes to compute mean correlation across

pvalue

the cut-off p-value which will be used to select DEGs

data_names

names of the datasets as they appear in the correlation plot

corrMats

(named) list of correlation matrices for each celltype with the final element being the mean correlation matrix, all at specified p-value

numRealDatasets

total number of real datasets (most likely the number of studies, but sometimes a study may be split e.g. into 2 brain regions, so in this case it would be the number of studies plus 1)

alphaval

(alpha) transparency of the non-mean boxplots

numPerms

number of random permutations of the dataset used to select significant DEGs from

numSubsets

number of pairs of random subsets of the dataset used to select significant DEGs from

sexDEGs

true if DEGs come from sex chromosomes, else false

fontsize_yaxislabels

font size for axis labels in plot

fontsize_yaxisticks

font size for axis tick labels in plot

fontsize_title

font size for plot title

fontsize_legendlabels

font size for legend labels in plot

fontsize_legendtitle

font size for legend title in plot

fontsize_facet_labels

font size for facet labels

output_path

base path in which outputs will be stored Checks all correlation analysis parameters are specified correctly
