Function that allows to assign random values (from the bottom-X percent of the LFQ values distribution) to proteins that show missing values for all the replicates of a specific condition.
randomize.missing.values(DEprot.object, group.column, tail.percentage = 5)
A DEprot object
, as generated by load.counts.
String indicating a column for the metadata table which indicates the IDs of the conditions within which the missing values should be tested.
Numeric value between 0 and 100 (excluded) indicating the threshold percentage of the distribution from which random values should be sampled. Default: 5
(percent).
A DEprot
object in which the completely missing values have been substituted in the normalized counts table.
