Calculate the Kappa distance

Calculate the Kappa distance between two genesets.

calculateKappa(a, b, all_genes)

Arguments

a, b

character vector, set of gene identifiers.

all_genes

character vector, list of all (unique) genes available in the input data.

Value

The Kappa distance of the sets.

Examples

## Mock example showing how the data should look like
a <- c("PDHB", "VARS2")
b <- c("IARS2", "PDHA1")
all_genes <- c("PDHB", "VARS2", "IARS2", "PDHA1")
c <- calculateKappa(a, b, all_genes)

## Example using the data available in the package
data(macrophage_topGO_example_small,
     package = "GeDi",
     envir = environment())
genes <- GeDi::getGenes(macrophage_topGO_example_small)
c <- calculateKappa(genes[1], genes[2], unique(genes))
