Expression Profile Properties Panel

 

This panel is used to define the expression profile. It is located on the left side of a cell type tab.

 

Measurement

Enter a short name to use for the profile.

Phenotype

Enter a short phenotype description to use for the profile.

Expression Profile

Choose the type of profile to use for modeling this measurement. See Expression Profile Descriptions for a list of profile types.

Distribution Type

Choose the type of distribution to use for this profile. See Expression Profile Distribution Types for details.

Normal Distribution

The control definition points define the mean of a normal distribution.

Inverse Normal

The profile is the inverse the Normal Distribution.

Inverse Low Pass

The profile is the inverse of the Low Pass distribution.

Low Pass

The control definition points define a probability "edge".  Events below the CDPs are included.

High Pass

The control definition points define a probability "edge".  Events above the CDPs are included.

Inverse High Pass

The profile is the inverse of the High Pass distribution.

 

Use for Classifying

Check this option to include this profile in the modeling process.

Use for Enriching

Check this option to include this profile when using the Enrich command.

Exclude from Model

Enable this option to exclude the profile from the modeling process.  This is a convenient way to temporarily disable a profile without removing it.

Required

If this option is enabled, the measurement must be included in the FCS file.  If it is missing, the modeling process will terminate and the file will not be analyzed.

Estimation Range

This value restricts the estimation routine that adjusts Control Points on the parameter intensity (Y-axis) scale. The value is normalized to a 0 to 100 scale, so a value of 10 means that the estimation routine will consider moving a Control Point as much as 10% up or down if it finds a peak within that range.

Normal Range

This value is the number of Standard Deviations that define the normal range when used with inverse profiles and TriCOMs.

Maximum Transition

This value sets a limit on the amount of transition in a staging profile like a StepUp or StepDown.

Fit Projection

If this option is checked, the modeling process with attempt to fit the projections in order to optimize the fit.

Color

Select a color for this measurement. This color is used in Tri-COMs and overlay plots.

 

Peak Detection

Peak Fitting Method

Choose the method to use for fitting peaks for this measurement. The default, Both Sides, uses the full peak to estimate position and SD.  Steeper side, Dimmer side, and Brighter side use only one side of the peak for the estimates.

Auto Smoothing

Enable this option to automatically determine the best smoothing bandwidth.

Smoothing

Enter a smoothing value.  Lower numbers result in less smoothing. Default value is 7.

Minimum Peak Height

The lowest height that is considered a peak.

Minimum State Peak Height

When Fit Projection is enabled, the lowest height that is considered a peak.

Peak Deflection Threshold

The minimum change between a low and high value to consider the segment a peak..

Merge Peaks Below

Peaks below this value will be into one peak.

Peak Separation

If abs(mean1-mean2)/(sd1+sd2) is greater than this threshold, then the peaks are different. (0.10 to 1.00)

Fit Distance

Filters detected peaks where the fitted mean is too far from the peak's location. (1.00 to 4.00)
