  feat_type = NULL,
  expression_values = c("normalized", "scaled", "custom"),
  cluster_column,
  cor = c("pearson", "spearman")
)

Arguments#

gobject

giotto object

spat_unit

spatial unit

feat_type

feature type

expression_values

expression values to use

cluster_column

name of column to use for clusters

cor

Details#

Creates data.table with pairwise correlation scores between each cluster and the group size (# of cells) for each cluster. This information can be used together with mergeClusters to combine very similar or small clusters into bigger clusters.
