plotMEpairs

Pairwise scatterplots of eigengenes

Description

The function produces a matrix of plots containing pairwise scatterplots of given eigengenes, the distribution of their values and their pairwise correlations.

Usage

plotMEpairs(
   datME, 
   y = NULL, 
   main = "Relationship between module eigengenes", 
   clusterMEs = TRUE, 
   ...)

Arguments

`datME`	a data frame containing expression data, with rows corresponding to samples and columns to genes. Missing values are allowed and will be ignored.
`y`	optional microarray sample trait vector. Will be treated as an additional eigengene.
`main`	main title for the plot.
`clusterMEs`	logical: should the module eigengenes be ordered by their dendrogram?
`...`	additional graphical parameters to the function `pairs`

Details

The function produces an NxN matrix of plots, where N is the number of eigengenes. In the upper traingle it plots pairwise scatterplots of module eigengenes (plus the trait y, if given). On the diagonal it plots histograms of sample values for each eigengene. Below the diagonal, it displays the pairwise correlations of the eigengenes.

Value

None.
