resultsClassTest-class: Class '"resultsClassTest"'

In dna: Differential Network Analysis

Description

Tests whether the connectivity scores for a set of important genes differ between two networks.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("resultsClassTest", ...).

Slots

p.value:

Object of class "numeric"; the p-value for the significance test.

delta:

Object of class "numeric"; the test statistic for the significance test.

class.genes:

Object of class "character"; the list of important genes.

Methods

get.results

signature(object = "resultsClassTest"): returns the p-value, test statistic, and the class of genes for a test for differential connectivity of the class of genes.

show

signature(object = "resultsClassTest"): summarizes the test by outputing the class of important genes, the value of the test statistic, and its p-value.
