"AggregatedRanking"

Description

An object returned from the methods AggregateBayes and AggregateSimple

Slots

posterior:

A list of posterior distributions for each gene, ordered according to gene indices, not ranks. NA if method="simple"

summary:

A numeric vector of summary ranks for each gene. In contrast to GeneRanking, there is no ordering, i.e. the first entry corresponds to the first gene index (row 1 of the expression matrix).

pval:

p-values from the original dataset (if exist), otherwise a vector of NAs.

type:

Describes the way of aggregation, either "bayesian", "simple", "penalty" or "pca".

fun:

The function used for aggregation, s. AggregateBayes or AggregateSimple.

method:

The ranking method used.

Methods

show

Use show(AggregatedRanking-object) for brief information.

plot

Use plot(GeneRanking-object, index=i) to show the posterior distribution for gene i (if type="bayesian").
