as_weitrix: Convert data to a weitrix

In weitrix: Tools for matrices with precision weights, test and explore weighted or sparse data

Description

Ensure data is a weighted matrix or "weitrix". A weitrix is a SummarizedExperiment or subclass thereof with some metadata fields set. If it is ambiguous how to do this, produce an error.

Usage

as_weitrix(object, weights = NULL)

Arguments

object	Object to convert.
weights	Optional, weights matrix if not present in object.

Details

Input can be a matrix or DelayedArray.

Input can be anything the limma package recognizes, notably the limma EList class (for example as output by voom or vooma).

If weights are not present in "object" and not given with "weights", they default for 0 for NA values and 1 for everything else.

Value

A SummarizedExperiment object with metadata fields marking it as a weitrix.

Examples

mat <- matrix(c(1,2,NA,3,NA,4), ncol=2)
weitrix <- as_weitrix(mat)

metadata(weitrix)
weitrix_x(weitrix)
weitrix_weights(weitrix)
