---|---|---|---|
Hypergeom | N/A | Hypergeometric test | Included for reference |
Diffusion | Normality | HD norm | Heat diffusion scores followed by z-scores |
Diffusion | Simulation | HD sim | Heat diffusion scores followed by permutations |
Pagerank | Normality | PR norm | PageRank scores followed by z-scores |
Pagerank | Simulation | PR sim | PageRank scores followed by permutations |
Each row corresponds to a method mentioned in the original publication [12]. The method hypergeom is Fisher’s exact test, included for reference. Method diffusion scores the nodes using the heat diffusion model. Method pagerank uses the PageRank algorithm on an upwards-directed version of the network. Both scores undergo a statistical normalisation to remove structural biases, controlled through the approx argument. The user can choose the fast, parametric z-scores (normality) or the slower, non-parametric permutation analysis (simulation). N/A: non-applicable
