Flat Line Test for Conservation Pattern

Source: R/stat_flatline_test.R
stat_flatline_test.Rd

Perform a flat line test to assess whether the transcriptomic index profile shows a flat (non-varying) pattern across developmental stages.

Usage

stat_flatline_test(phyex_set, ...)

Arguments

phyex_set

A PhyloExpressionSet object

...

Additional arguments passed to stat_generic_conservation_test

Value

A test result object containing p-value and test statistics

Details

The flat line test evaluates whether the TXI profile remains constant across developmental stages by testing the variance of the profile against a null distribution. A significant result indicates rejection of the flat line pattern.
