Count occurrence of miRNA names above threshold

Count occurrence of miRNA names above a threshold.

count_mir_threshold(df, threshold = 1, col.mir = miRNA, col.pmid = PMID)

Arguments

df	Data frame containing miRNA names and PubMed-IDs.
threshold	Integer or float. If threshold >= 1, counts number of miRNA names in at least threshold abstracts. If threshold is between 0 and 1, counts number of miRNA names mentioned in at least threshold abstracts of all abstracts in df.
col.mir	Symbol. Column containing miRNA names.
col.pmid	Symbol. Column containing PubMed-IDs.

Value

Integer with the number of distinct miRNA names in df.

Details

Count occurrence of miRNA names above a threshold. This threshold can either be an absolute value, e.g. 3, or a float between 0 and 1, e.g. 0.2. If threshold is an absolute value, number of distinct miRNA names mentioned in at least threshold abstracts is returned. If threshold is a float between 0 and 1, number of distinct miRNA names mentioned in at least threshold abstracts of all abstracts in df is returned.
