"FCSsummary-class" {rflowcyt} | R Documentation

## Class "FCSsummary" Summary object for a "FCS-class"

### Description

The data summary statistics along with metadata output help summarize a "FCS-class" object using the "summary" method.

### Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form `new("FCSsummary", ...)`.

### Slots

`num.cells`:
  Object of class `"numeric"` the number of cells or rows from the data
`num.param`:
  Object of class `"numeric"` the number of parameters or columns from the data
`univariate.stat`:
  Object of class `"matrix"` five-number summary including the standard deviation of all the column variables
`metadata.info`:
  Object of class `"list"` with the following slots: "Description", "ColumnParametersSummary", and "fcsinfoNames".

### Methods

"print-methods"
  `signature(x = "FCSsummary")`: prints the output of the summary statistics of the data and the metadata
"show-methods"
  `signature(object = "FCSsummary")`: same as "print"
