Making an incidence matrix for a gene set

Description

An incidence matrix summarizes membership of gene identifiers in gene sets.

Usage

  
  getIncidenceMatrix(x, features)
  

Arguments

x	An object of class GeneSetCollection, DeconGeneSetCollection, or list, for which an incidence matrix will be produced.
features	A optional character vector providing set of features for which the incidence matrix will be produced. By default, the matrix will include one column for every gene in the collection.

Value

A matrix with as many rows as gene sets in the GeneSetCollection, and columns for genes. Each value will be 1 where a gene is in set, otherwise 0. By default, there will be as many columns as there are unique genes across all sets in the collection. The user may specify a set of features for which an incidence matrix will be made. In that case, there will be as many columns as there are provided features.

Examples

    gsc <- DeconGeneSetCollection()
    
    ### Make an incidence matrix for the gene sets
    incMat <- getIncidenceMatrix(gsc)
    
    ### Make an incidence matrix for the gene sets,
    ### explicitly calling out which features to use.
    ### This is identical to the previous incidence matrix.
    allGenes <- unlist(unique(geneIds(gsc)))
    incMat <- getIncidenceMatrix(gsc, features = allGenes)
