analyse gene enrichment with EGSEA — test_gene

test_gene_enrichment() takes as input a `tbl` (with at least three columns for sample, feature and transcript abundance) or `SummarizedExperiment` (more convenient if abstracted to tibble with library(tidySummarizedExperiment)) and returns a `tbl` of gene set information

Arguments

.data: A `tbl` (with at least three columns for sample, feature and transcript abundance) or `SummarizedExperiment` (more convenient if abstracted to tibble with library(tidySummarizedExperiment))
.formula: A formula with no response variable, representing the desired linear model
.sample: The name of the sample column
.entrez: The ENTREZ ID of the transcripts/genes
.abundance: The name of the transcript/gene abundance column
contrasts: This parameter takes the format of the contrast parameter of the method of choice. For edgeR and limma-voom is a character vector. For DESeq2 is a list including a character vector of length three. The first covariate is the one the model is tested against (e.g., ~ factor_of_interest)
methods: A character vector. One or 3 or more methods to use in the testing (currently EGSEA errors if 2 are used). Type EGSEA::egsea.base() to see the supported GSE methods.
gene_sets: A character vector or a list. It can take one or more of the following built-in collections as a character vector: c("h", "c1", "c2", "c3", "c4", "c5", "c6", "c7", "kegg_disease", "kegg_metabolism", "kegg_signaling"), to be used with EGSEA buildIdx. c1 is human specific. Alternatively, a list of user-supplied gene sets can be provided, to be used with EGSEA buildCustomIdx. In that case, each gene set is a character vector of Entrez IDs and the names of the list are the gene set names.
species: A character. It can be human, mouse or rat.
cores: An integer. The number of cores available
method: DEPRECATED. Please use methods.
.contrasts: DEPRECATED - This parameter takes the format of the contrast parameter of the method of choice. For edgeR and limma-voom is a character vector. For DESeq2 is a list including a character vector of length three. The first covariate is the one the model is tested against (e.g., ~ factor_of_interest)

Value

A consistent object (to the input)
