Computes gene-wise correlation between empirical and theoretical quantiles, typically from Q-Q plots, and visualizes the distribution of these correlations as a histogram using ggplot2.
Usage
compute_qq_correlation(
empirical,
theoretical,
method = c("pearson", "spearman"),
title = NULL,
x_label = NULL,
y_label = NULL,
bins = 50
)Arguments
- empirical
A numeric matrix of empirical quantiles (quantiles × genes)
- theoretical
A numeric matrix of theoretical quantiles (same dimensions as empirical)
- method
Character string specifying the correlation method: "pearson" (default) or "spearman"
- title
Optional main title for the histogram plot
- x_label
Optional label for the x-axis (default depends on method)
- y_label
Optional label for the y-axis (default: "Count")
- bins
Integer specifying the number of bins for the histogram (default: 50)
