Accessor Method for the PWM slot in a genomicProfiles object

Description

Accessor Method for the PWM slot in a genomicProfiles object

Usage

PositionWeightMatrix(object)

Arguments

object

object is a genomicProfiles

Details

After creating a genomicProfiles object, it is possible to access the Position Weight Matrix stored in this slot. This slot should always contain something. This slot is either supplied by user or directly computed from a Position Frequency Matrix when supplied.

Value

Returns a matrix in the form of a Position Weight Matrix
