#' @title Data wrapper for a data set of a perturbation screen.
#'
#' @description Class \code{PerturbationData} wraps a data set derived
#'  from a genetic perturbation screen, e.g. using RNA interference or CRISPR.
#'  Class \code{PerturbationData} exposes getters for its members of the same
#'  name, but no setters, because the data should be treated as
#'  constant once set. The easiest way to construct a \code{PerturbationData}
#'  object is by first creating a \code{data.frame} and then calling \code{as}.
#'  See the examples to construct an object.
