plotModuleSignificance

Barplot of module significance

Description

Plot a barplot of gene significance.

Usage

plotModuleSignificance(
  geneSignificance, 
  colors, 
  boxplot = FALSE, 
  main = "Gene significance across modules,", 
  ylab = "Gene Significance", ...)

Arguments

`geneSignificance`	a numeric vector giving gene significances.
`colors`	a character vector specifying module assignment for the genes whose significance is given in `geneSignificance` . The modules should be labeled by colors.
`boxplot`	logical: should a boxplot be produced instead of a barplot?
`main`	main title for the plot.
`ylab`	y axis label for the plot.
`...`	other graphical parameters to `plot`.

Details

Given individual gene significances and their module assigment, the function calculates the module significance for each module as the average gene significance of the genes within the module. The result is plotted in a barplot or boxplot form. Each bar or box is labeled by the corresponding module color.

Value

None.
