## Extract and convert data from a `FirehoseData` object to a `Bioconductor` object

### Description

This function processes data from a `FirehoseData` object. Raw data is converted to a conventional Bioconductor object. The function returns either a SummarizedExperiment or a RaggedExperiment class object. In cases where there are multiple platforms in a data type, an attempt to consolidate datasets will be made based on matching dimension names. For ranged data, this functionality is provided with more control as part of the `RaggedExperiment` features. See `RaggedExperiment` for more details.

### Usage

    biocExtract(object, type = c("clinical", "RNASeqGene", "miRNASeqGene",
      "RNASeq2GeneNorm", "CNASNP", "CNVSNP", "CNASeq", "CNACGH", "Methylation",
      "Mutation", "mRNAArray", "miRNAArray", "RPPAArray", "GISTIC", "GISTICA",
      "GISTICT"))

### Arguments

`object` | A `FirehoseData` object from which to extract data.
`type` | The type of data to extract from the "FirehoseData" object, see type section.

### Value

Either an SummarizedExperiment object or a RaggedExperiment object.
