rsem-control-fdr(1)


NAME

   rsem-control-fdr

PURPOSE

   Filter EBSeq output for statistical significance.

SYNOPSIS

   rsem-control-fdr [options] input_file fdr_rate output_file

ARGUMENTS

   input_file
       This should be the main result file generated by 'rsem-run-ebseq',
       which contains all genes/transcripts and their associated
       statistics.

   fdr_rate
       The desire false discovery rate (FDR).

   output_file
       This file is a subset of the 'input_file'. It only contains the
       genes/transcripts called as differentially expressed (DE). When
       more than 2 conditions exist, DE is defined as not all conditions
       are equally expressed.  Because statistical significance does not
       necessarily mean biological significance, users should also refer
       to the fold changes to decide which genes/transcripts are
       biologically significant. When more than two conditions exist, this
       file will not contain fold change information and users need to
       calculate it from 'input_file.condmeans' by themselves.

OPTIONS

   --hard-threshold
       Use hard threshold method to control FDR. If this option is set,
       only those genes/transcripts with their PPDE >= 1 - fdr_rate are
       called as DE. (Default: on)

   --soft-threshold
       Use soft threshold method to control FDR. If this option is set,
       this program will try to report as many genes/transcripts as
       possible, as long as their average PPDE >= 1 - fdr_rate. This
       option is equivalent to use EBSeq's 'crit_fun' for FDR control.
       (Default: off)

   -h/--help
       Show help information.

DESCRIPTION

   This program controls the false discovery rate and reports
   differentially expressed genes/transcripts.

EXAMPLES

   We assume that we have 'GeneMat.results' as input. We want to control
   FDR at 0.05 using hard threshold method and name the output file as
   'GeneMat.de.txt':

    rsem-control-fdr GeneMat.results 0.05 GeneMat.de.txt
