MatchedAssayExperiment-class {MultiAssayExperiment}R Documentation

An integrative and matched-samples class for experiment data

Description

This class supports the use of matched samples where an equal number of observations per biological unit are present in all assays.

Usage

MatchedAssayExperiment(experiments = ExperimentList(),
  colData = S4Vectors::DataFrame(), sampleMap = S4Vectors::DataFrame(assay =
  factor(), primary = character(), colname = character()), metadata = NULL,
  drops = list())

Arguments

experiments

A list or ExperimentList of all combined experiments

colData

A DataFrame or data.frame of characteristics for all biological units

sampleMap

A DataFrame or data.frame of assay names, sample identifiers, and colname samples

metadata

An optional argument of "ANY" class (usually list) for content describing the experiments

drops

A list of unmatched information (included after subsetting)

Value

A MatchedAssayExperiment object
