CopyNumberSet-methods: Methods for class CopyNumberSet.

In jmacdon/oligoClasses: Classes for high-throughput arrays supported by oligo and crlmm

Description

Accessors and CopyNumberSet

Usage

copyNumber(object, ...)
cnConfidence(object)
copyNumber(object) <- value
cnConfidence(object) <- value

Arguments

object	CopyNumberSet object or derived class
...	Ignored for CopyNumberSet and oligoSnpSet.
value	matrix

Value

copyNumber returns a matrix of copy number estimates or relative copy number estimates. Since the copy number estimates are stored as integers (copy number * 100), the matrix returned by the copyNumber accessor will need to be divided by a factor of 100 to transform the measurements back to the original copy number scale.

cnConfidence returns a matrix of confidence scores for the copy number estimates. These are also represented as integers and will require a back-transformation to the original scale.

Examples

	library(Biobase)
	data(locusLevelData)
	path <- system.file("extdata", package="oligoClasses")
	fd <- readRDS(file.path(path, "genomeAnnotatedDataFrameExample.rds"))
	## the following command creates an 'oligoSnpSet' object, storing
	## an integer representation of the log2 copy number in the 'copyNumber' element
	## of the assayData.  Genotype calls and genotype confidence scores are also stored
	## in the assayData.
	oligoSet <- new("oligoSnpSet",
			copyNumber=integerMatrix(log2(locusLevelData[["copynumber"]]/100), 100),
			call=locusLevelData[["genotypes"]],
			callProbability=integerMatrix(locusLevelData[["crlmmConfidence"]], 1),
			annotation=locusLevelData[["platform"]],
			featureData=fd,
			genome="hg19")

	## There are several accessors for the oligoSnpSet class.
	icn <- copyNumber(oligoSet)
	range(icn) ## integer scale
	lcn <- icn/100
	range(lcn) ## log2 copy number

	## confidence scores for the genotypes are also represented on an integer scale
	ipr <- snpCallProbability(oligoSet)
	range(ipr) ## integer scale

	## for genotype confidence scores, the helper function i2p
	## converts back to a probability scale
	pr <- i2p(ipr)
	range(pr)

	## The helper function confs is a shortcut, extracting the
	## integer-based confidence scores and transforming to the
	## probability scale
	pr2 <- confs(oligoSet)
	all.equal(pr, pr2)

	## To extract information on the annotation of the SNPs, one can use
	position(oligoSet)
	chromosome(oligoSet)
	## the position and chromosome coordinates were extracted from build hg19
	genomeBuild(oligoSet)
