harmonize.batches(DEprot.object, batch.column = "batch", cores = 1)

Arguments

DEprot.object

A DEprot object, as generated by load.counts. Notice that this function works only with "normalized".

batch.column

String indicating the name of a column from the metadata table in which are stored the replicate IDs. This column is used only if paired.test = TRUE. Default: NULL.

cores

Numeric value indicating the number of cores to use for the batch correction. Default: 1.
