Permutation-Based Testing
By default, CaDrA performs both forward and backward search algorithm to look for a subset of features whose union is maximally associated with an outcome of interest, based on (currently) one of four scoring functions (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Conditional Mutual Information, Wilcoxon, and custom-defined). To test whether the strength of the association between the set of features and the observed input scores (e.g., pathway activity, drug sensitivity, etc.) is greater than it would be expected by chance, CaDrA supports permutation-based significance testing. Importantly, the permutation test iterates over the entire search procedure (e.g., if top_N = 7, each permutation iteration will consist of running the search over the top 7 features).

- A
binary features matrixalso known asFeature Set(such as somatic mutations, copy number alterations, chromosomal translocations, etc.) The 1/0 row vectors indicate the presence/absence of ‘omics’ features in the samples. TheFeature Setcan be a matrix or an object of class SummarizedExperiment from SummarizedExperiment package) - A vector of continuous scores (or
Input Scores) representing a functional response of interest (such as protein expression, pathway activity, etc.)
