It's the percentage of variance that is lost from each batch across all merge steps, so you'll get one value per batch. Admittedly, the documentation could be clearer about this. I guess I could also compute the percentage of variance lost at each batch at each merge step, but no one's needed that level of detail yet.
FYI, the MNN functions are to be moved to a new package that should be available in the next Bioconductor release, so the documentation updates will take place there.
Thanks a lot for the informative and quick reply
In the fastMNN function description I read:
As I understand it, for
n
batches I should getn-1
percentages as there aren-1
merge steps. For example, for 2 batches there is a single merge step and I should get 1 percentage. What I get from the function though isn
percentages, that is 2 percentages in the case of 2 batches.Will you please explain this?
