PositionFrequencyMatrix {ChIPanalyser} | R Documentation

## Accessor method for the `PFM` slot in a `genomicProfiles` object

### Description

Accessor method for the `PFM` slot in a `genomicProfiles` object

### Usage

    PositionFrequencyMatrix(object)

### Arguments

`object` | `object` is a `genomicProfiles` object

### Details

After creating a `genomicProfiles` object, it is possible to access the Position Frequency Matrix slot. However this slot will be empty if the `genomicProfiles` object was built using directly a Position Weight Matrix. See `genomicProfiles`

### Value

Returns the Position Frequency Matrix (`PFM` slot) used to compute the `PositionWeightMatrix` in a `genomicProfiles` object
