BCRANKsearch-class {BCRANK} | R Documentation

## Class "BCRANKsearch"

### Description

Holds the whole search path from a single `bcrank` run. Each individual search step is stored in a `BCRANKmatch-class` object. Several objects of this class are collected in a `BCRANKresult-class` object

### Objects from the Class

Objects are not intended to be created directly but as a result from running `bcrank`.

### Slots

`searchPath`:

  a collection of `BCRANKmatch-class` objects, ontaining all bcrank search steps from a start guess to a locally optimal solution.

`final`:

  a `BCRANKmatch-class` object for the highest scoring consensus sequence (locally optimal solution) in this bcrank run.

`finalPWM`:

  position weight matrix for the highest scoring consensus sequence.

`finalNrMatch`:

  number of occurrences of the final consensus sequence in the fasta input file.

`nrIterations`:

  number of iterations required to move from the start guess to the final soloution in this bcrank run.

### Methods

searchPath

  `signature(object = "BCRANKsearch", i=NULL)`: If `i` is NULL, returns a data frame containing consensus and score for the whole search path. Otherwise, the i'th `BCRANKmatch-class` object in the search path is returned.

pwm

  `signature(object = "BCRANKsearch", normalize=TRUE)`: Returns the position weight matrix (pwm) for the highest scoring consensus in this bcrank run. Matrix positions are between between 0 and 1 when `normalize` is TRUE. When FALSE, the number of matching sequences is reported.

plot

  `signature(x = "BCRANKsearch", y = "missing")`: A plot method for the searchPath.
