CliPPER
CliPPER is an empirical method based on Gaussian graphical models that (i) selects pathways with covariance matrices or means significantly different between two experimental conditions; (ii) on such pathways, identifies the portions of the pathways, called signal paths, mostly associated to the phenotype. The significant pathways reported have both tests significant at alpha level <= 0.05.
- alphaVar = adjusted p-value of CliPPER test on the concentration matrices of the pathway between groups.
- alphaMean = adjusted p-values of CliPPER test on the means of the pathways between groups.
