Compute the IDER-based similarity matrix for a list of Seurat objects. This function does not regress out batch effects and is designed to be used at the initial clustering step.
Usage
getDistMat(
  seu_list,
  verbose = TRUE,
  tmp.initial.clusters = "seurat_clusters",
  method = "trend",
  additional.variate = NULL,
  downsampling.size = 35,
  downsampling.include = TRUE,
  downsampling.replace = TRUE
)Arguments
- seu_list
- A list containing Seurat objects. Required. 
- verbose
- Print the message and progress bar (default: TRUE) 
- tmp.initial.clusters
- One of the colnames from `Seurat@meta.data`. Used as the group. Default: "seurat_clusters" 
- method
- Methods for DE analysis. Options: "voom" or "trend" (default) 
- additional.variate
- additional variate to include into the linear model to regress out 
- downsampling.size
- Number of cells used per group. Default: 35 
- downsampling.include
- Whether to include the group of size smaller than `downsampling.size`. Default: TRUE 
- downsampling.replace
- Whether to use `replace` in sampling for group of size smaller than `downsampling.size` if they are kept. Default: TRUE
