Accessor Method for the strandRule slot in a genomicProfileParameters object

Description

Accessor Method for the strandRule slot in a genomicProfileParameters object

Usage

strandRule(object)

Arguments

Details

When computing the PWM Scores and if whichstrand is set to "+-", strandRule will determine how to handle both strands ( one of three options : "mean", "max", "sum"). If set to "mean", the average PWM Score of both strand will be computed. If set to "max", the highest PWM score between each strand will be selected and finally "sum" will sum both score together. Default set at "max"

Value

Returns the value assigned to strandRule slot (one of three options : "mean", "max", "sum") in a genomicProfileParameters object
