plot_distribution_partialTAI_qqplot generates a QQ plot to compare the partial TAI distributions of various developmental stages against a reference stage. It visualizes quantile differences between the reference and other stages, highlights each stage with distinct colors, and annotates the plot with the p-values from the nonparametric ks.test to indicate the significance of distribution differences.

Usage

plot_distribution_pTAI_qqplot(
  phyex_set,
  reference_stage_index = 1,
  xlab = "Quantiles of Reference Stage",
  ylab = "Quantiles of Other Stages",
  main = "QQ Plot: Developmental Stages vs Reference Stage (p-values from KS test)",
  alpha = 0.7,
  size = 1.2
)

Arguments

phyex_set

A PhyloExpressionSet object (BulkPhyloExpressionSet or ScPhyloExpressionSet).

reference_stage_index

An integer specifying the index of the reference developmental stage. The partial TAI distribution of this stage will be used as the reference for comparisons with other stages (default: stage index 1).

xlab

Label of x-axis.

ylab

Label of y-axis.

main

Figure title.

alpha

Transparency of the points.

size

Size of the points.
