R Documentation

Accessor method for the `PFM` slot in a `genomicProfiles` object

Description

Accessor method for the PFM slot in a genomicProfiles object

Usage

PositionFrequencyMatrix(object)

Arguments

object

object is a genomicProfiles object

Details

After creating a genomicProfiles object, it is possible to access the Position Frequency Matrix slot. However this slot will be empty if the genomicProfiles object was built using directly a Position Weight Matrix. See genomicProfiles

Value

Returns the Position Frequency Matrix (PFM slot) used to compute the PositionWeightMatrix in a genomicProfiles object
