Setter method for the PFMFormat slot in a genomicProfileParameters object

Description

Setter method for the PFMFormat slot in a genomicProfileParameters object

Usage

PFMFormat(object) <- value

Arguments

Details

If loading a PositionFrequencyMatrix from a file, the format of the file should be specified. Default is raw. Please keep in mind that this argument is used when parsing the PositionFrequencyMatrix file. IF this argument is changed after building the genomicProfileParameters with a PositionFrequencyMatrix file, this will not influence the parsing of the file.

Value

Returns a genomicProfileParameters object with an updated value for the PFMFormat slot.

Examples

# Loading data
data(ChIPanalyserData)
#Loading PFM files
PFM <- file.path(system.file("extdata",package="ChIPanalyser"),"BCDSlx.pfm")
#Building data objects
#### THIS IS THE PREFFERED METHOD FOR SETTING PFMFormat
GPP <- genomicProfileParameters(PFM=PFM,PFMFormat="raw")
#Setting New value for PFMFormat
PFMFormat(GPP) <- "raw"
