R Documentation

An integrative and matched-samples class for experiment data

Description

This class supports the use of matched samples where an equal number of observations per biological unit are present in all assays.

Usage

MatchedAssayExperiment(experiments = ExperimentList(),
  colData = S4Vectors::DataFrame(), sampleMap = S4Vectors::DataFrame(assay =
  factor(), primary = character(), colname = character()), metadata = NULL,
  drops = list())

Arguments

`experiments`	A `list` or ExperimentList of all combined experiments
`colData`	A `DataFrame` or `data.frame` of characteristics for all biological units
`sampleMap`	A `DataFrame` or `data.frame` of assay names, sample identifiers, and colname samples
`metadata`	An optional argument of "ANY" class (usually list) for content describing the experiments
`drops`	A `list` of unmatched information (included after subsetting)

Value

A MatchedAssayExperiment object

Functions

MatchedAssayExperiment: Construct a MatchedAssayExperiment class from MultiAssayExperiment inputs.
