enrichment {GSEA} | R Documentation |
Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) (also called functional
enrichment analysis or pathway enrichment analysis) is a
method to identify classes of genes or proteins that are
over-represented in a large set of genes or proteins, and
may have an association with disease phenotypes. The method
uses statistical approaches to identify significantly enriched
or depleted groups of genes. Transcriptomics technologies
and proteomics results often identify thousands of genes
which are used for the analysis.
enrichment(background, geneSet,
expression = NULL,
cut.size = 3,
outputAll = TRUE,
resize = -1,
showProgress = FALSE,
... = NULL);
the expression value could be the raw expression mean value, different expression foldchange value for the group comparision, or other related gene set sort scores.
