Feature Request: Pulling pre-normalization log2 TMT statistics using API #14

Open arudhir opened 1 year ago

To my understanding, the summary report created by CDAP that correspond to the log2 TMT ratios are median-scaled: top of page 9:

The aggregated log-ratios for each sample are normalized by subtracting the median from all genes’ values. The before-normalization sample median, mean, and standard deviation are provided in the first three rows of the report

I believe the values that are obtainable from the API correspond to these scaled values.

Is there a way to get the "before-normalization" median/median/mean using the API?

Currently I end up downloading the file available on the portal, which isn't the biggest deal in the world, but it'd be neat if I could do all of what I am doing via API calls and do without the extra file.
