Class "AVS": an S4 class for variant set enrichment analysis.

Description

This S4 class includes a series of methods to do enrichment analyses in Associated Variant Sets (AVSs).

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("AVS", markers).

Slots

markers:

Object of class "character", a data frame, a 'BED file' format with rs# markers mapped to the same genome build of the LD source in the RTNdata package.

validatedMarkers:

Object of class "data.frame", a data frame with genome positions of the validated markers.

variantSet:

Object of class "list", an associated variant set.

randomSet:

Object of class "list", a random associated variant set.

para:

Object of class "list", a list of parameters for variant set enrichment analysis.

results:

Object of class "list", a list of results (see return values in the AVS methods).

summary:

Object of class "list", a list of summary information for markers, para, and results.

status:

Object of class "character", a character value specifying the status of the AVS object based on the available methods.
