Description

A class to represent flowMerge objects

Objects from the Class

The object unites the flowMerge model output and the data being modeled and contains additional slots for various characteristics of a merged cluster solution, including the entropy of clustering.

Slots

merged:

The number of observations merged at the current step in the algorithm.

mtree:

A tree–structured graph representing the order of merged components in the model. Inspired by SPADE. (Bendall et al.)

entropy:

The entropy of clustering of the current solution.

DATA:

An environment whose first element contains the flowFrame with the data modeled by this flowMerge object

expName:

See the flowClust package for details

varNames:

See the flowClust package for details

K:

The number of clusters in the merged solution. See the flowClust package for details

w:

The proportions for each component in the merged solution. See the flowClust package for details

mu:

The means of the components in the merged solution. See the flowClust package for details

sigma:

The covraiances of the components in the merged solution. See the flowClust package for details

lambda:

See the flowClust package for details

nu:

See the flowClust package for details

z:

See the flowClust package for details

u:

The uncertainties for each data point.
