StabilityDistance-class: "StabilityDistance"

In GeneSelector: Stability and Aggregation of ranked gene lists

Description

An object returned from a call to GetStabilityDistance.

Slots

scores:

A numeric vector of stability scores, with 0 corresponding to maximum instability and 1 to maximum stability.

noinformation:

The stability score one would expect in the no-information case, which corresponds to the random generation of two mutually independent rankings.

scheme

s. GetStabilityDistance.

measure

The distance measure used, s. GetStabilityDistance.

decay

The decay scheme used for the weights, s. GetStabilityDistance.

Methods

show

Use show(object) for brief information.

summary

Use summary(object), display = c("summary", "all"), digits = 3 for condensed output. The argument display controls whether only a five-point summary is printed (display = "summary") or whether all results are printed (display = "all"). The argument digits is used for number formatting. Note that the output additionally depends on scheme.
