TestResults: Matrix of Test Results - class
In limma: Linear Models for Microarray Data

Description Usage Arguments Slots/List Components Methods Author(s) See Also Examples

A matrix-based class for storing the results of simultanous tests. TestResults objects are usually created by decideTests.

`object, x`	object of class `TestResults`
`...`	other arguments are not used

A TestResults object is essentially a numeric matrix with elements equal to 0, 1 or -1. Zero represents acceptance of the null hypothesis, 1 indicates rejection in favor of the right tail alternative and -1 indicates rejection in favor of the left tail alternative.

TestResults objects can be created by new("TestResults",results) where results is a matrix. Objects of this class contain no slots (other than .Data), although the attributes dim and dimnames may be treated as slots.

This class inherits directly from class matrix so any operation appropriate for matrices will work on objects of this class. show and summary methods are also implemented.

Functions in LIMMA which operate on TestResults objects include heatDiagram, vennCounts, vennDiagram, write.fit.
