This function lists the lipid characteristics suitable for different types of analyses.

list_lipid_char(processed_se)

Arguments

processed_se

A SummarizedExperiment object after conducting data_process.

Value

Return a list of named vector.

  1. deChar_list: List of lipid characteristics for conducting differential expressed lipid characteristics analysis.

  2. chain_db_list: List of lipid characteristics for performing chain length-double bond correlation analysis.

  3. common_list: List of lipid characteristics for other analyses in LipidSigR, such as Profiling and Enrichment.

Examples

data("de_data_twoGroup")
processed_se <- data_process(
    de_data_twoGroup, exclude_missing=TRUE, exclude_missing_pct=70,
    replace_na_method='min', replace_na_method_ref=0.5,
    normalization='Percentage')
char_list <- list_lipid_char(processed_se)
