FeatureSetCollection: Container for Storing A Collection of Sets

In DarioS/ClassifyR: A framework for cross-validated classification problems, with applications to differential variability and differential distribution testing

Container for Storing A Collection of Sets

Description

This container is the required storage format for a collection of sets. Typically, the elements of a set will either be a set of proteins (i.e. character vector) which perform a particular biological process or a set of binary interactions (i.e. Two-column matrix of feature identifiers).

Constructor

FeatureSetCollection(sets)

sets

A named list. The names of the list describe the sets and the elements of the list specify the features which comprise the sets.

Summary

featureSets is a FeatureSetCollection object.

show(featureSets): Prints a short summary of what featureSets contains.
length(featureSets): Prints how many sets of features there are.

Subsetting

The FeatureSetCollection may be subsetted to a smaller set of elements or a single set may be extracted as a vector.

featureSets is a FeatureSetCollection object.

featureSets[i:j]: Reduces the object to a subset of the feature sets between elements i and j of the collection.
featureSets[[i]]: Extract the feature set identified by i. i may be a numeric index or the character name of a feature set.
