lintGml2-class: Class lintGml2

In flowCore: flowCore: Basic structures for flow cytometry data

Description

Linear transformation as parameterized in Gating-ML 2.0 is defined by the following function:

bound(f, boundMin, boundMax) = max(min(f,boundMax),boundMin))

where

f(parameter, T, A) = (parameter + A) / (T + A)

This transformation provides a linear display that maps scale values from the [-A, T] interval to the [0, 1] interval. However, it is defined for all x in R including outside of the [-A, T] interval.

In addition, if a boundary is defined by the boundMin and/or boundMax parameters, then the result of this transformation is restricted to the [boundMin,boundMax] interval. Specifically, should the result of the f function be less than boundMin, then let the result of this transformation be boundMin. Analogically, should the result of the f function be more than boundMax, then let the result of this transformation be boundMax. The boundMin parameter shall not be greater than the boundMax parameter.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls to the constructor

lintGml2(parameter, T, A, transformationId, boundMin, boundMax)

Slots

.Data:

Object of class function ~~

T:

Object of class numeric -positive constant (top of scale value)

A:

Object of class numeric -non-negative constant that is less than or equal to T; it is determining the bottom end of the transformation

parameters:

Object of class "transformation" -flow parameter to be transformed

transformationId:

Object of class "character" -unique ID to reference the transformation

boundMin:

Object of class numeric -lower bound of the transformation, default -Inf

boundMax:

Object of class numeric -upper bound of the transformation, default Inf

Extends

Class singleParameterTransform, directly. Class transform, by class singleParameterTransform, distance 2. Class transformation, by class singleParameterTransform, distance 3. Class characterOrTransformation, by class singleParameterTransform, distance 4.

Methods

No methods defined with class lintGml2 in the signature.

Note

The linear transformation object can be evaluated using the eval method by passing the data frame as an argument. The transformed parameters are returned as a matrix with a single column. (See example below)
