Compute the correlation of features broken down by groups with another covariate

GroupCorrelation(
  object,
  assay = NULL,
  slot = "scale.data",
  var = NULL,
  group.assay = NULL,
  min.cells = 5,
  ngroups = 6,
  do.plot = TRUE
)

Arguments

object: Seurat object
assay: Assay to pull the data from
slot: Slot in the assay to pull feature expression data from (counts, data, or scale.data)
var: Variable with which to correlate the features
group.assay: Compute the gene groups based off the data in this assay.
min.cells: Only compute for genes in at least this many cells
ngroups: Number of groups to split into
do.plot: Display the group correlation boxplot (via GroupCorrelationPlot)

Value

A Seurat object with the correlation stored in metafeatures
