Significant PCs should show a p-value distribution that is strongly skewed to the left compared to the null distribution. The p-value for each PC is based on a proportion test comparing the number of features with a p-value below a particular threshold (score.thresh), compared with the proportion of features expected under a uniform distribution of p-values.

ScoreJackStraw(object, ...)

# S3 method for JackStrawData
ScoreJackStraw(object, dims = 1:5, score.thresh = 1e-05, ...)

# S3 method for DimReduc
ScoreJackStraw(object, dims = 1:5, score.thresh = 1e-05, ...)

# S3 method for Seurat
ScoreJackStraw(
object,
reduction = "pca",
dims = 1:5,
score.thresh = 1e-05,
do.plot = FALSE,
...
)

## Arguments
