StabilityDistance-class {GeneSelector} | R Documentation

## "StabilityDistance"

### Description

An object returned from a call to GetStabilityDistance.

### Slots

`scores`:

  A numeric vector of stability scores, with 0 corresponding to maximum instability and 1 to maximum stability.

`noinformation`:

  The stability score one would expect in the no-information case, which corresponds to the random generation of two mutually independent rankings.

`scheme`

  s. GetStabilityDistance.

`measure`

  The distance measure used, s. GetStabilityDistance.

`decay`

  The decay scheme used for the weights, s. GetStabilityDistance.

### Methods

show

  Use `show(object)` for brief information.

summary

  Use `summary(object), display = c("summary", "all"), digits = 3` for condensed output. The argument `display` controls whether only a five-point summary is printed (`display = "summary"`) or whether all results are printed (`display = "all"`). The argument `digits` is used for number formatting. Note that the output additionally depends on `scheme`.
