The meaning of gene weight?

Opened this issue · 1 comments

I got a factor A whose top50 genes with high gene weight, and a factor B whose top50 genes with low gene weight.
Does it mean factor A is of higher quality than factor B

For example:

> factor A
CDKN2A     0.325802
BRCA2      0.313171
CDC6       0.300558
RFC4       0.298734
SLC1A4     0.295682
RRM2       0.284938
OXCT1      0.277684
GGH        0.277203
POLD3      0.271817
E2F1       0.271748
> factor B
CDKN2A     0.325802
BRCA2      0.313171
CDC6       0.300558
RFC4       0.298734
SLC1A4     0.295682
RRM2       0.284938
OXCT1      0.277684

Have you tried using the factor importance and information scores? Let me know if that's helpful
