DGobj-class: Class '"DGobj"'
In StrainRanking: Ranking of Pathogen Strains

Description Objects from the Class Slots Methods Author(s) References See Also Examples

Class of objects containing demographic and genetic data and used as input of the function ranking.strains for ranking pathogen strains.

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("DGobj", ...) and by calls of the constructors DGobj.rawdata, DGobj.simul.mechanistic and DGobj.simul.regression.

demographic:: Object of class "matrix". The first two columns give the coordinates of sites where demographic data are available. The third column gives the values of the demographic growth at these sites.
genetic:: Object of class "matrix". The first two columns give the coordinates of sites where genetic data are available. Each following column (3, 4, ...) gives the frequencies of a given strain at these sites.
