tirank.SCSTpreprocess.merge_datasets

tirank.SCSTpreprocess.merge_datasets(bulkClinical_1, bulkClinical_2, bulkExp_1, bulkExp_2)[source]

Merges two bulk expression and clinical datasets, finding intersecting genes.

Parameters:

  • bulkClinical_1 (pd.DataFrame) – Clinical data for the first cohort.

  • bulkClinical_2 (pd.DataFrame) – Clinical data for the second cohort.

  • bulkExp_1 (pd.DataFrame) – Expression data for the first cohort (genes x samples).

  • bulkExp_2 (pd.DataFrame) – Expression data for the second cohort (genes x samples).

Returns:

A tuple containing:

  • pd.DataFrame: The merged expression DataFrame.

  • pd.DataFrame: The merged clinical DataFrame.

Or returns 0 if no intersecting genes are found.

Return type:

tuple
