FCS-class: FCS class definition

Description Details Slots

Description

FCS are S4 objects containing marker cell expressions obtained from cytometry profiles.

Details

This object mainly stores for each cell the intensities of all cell markers.

The slot 'trans.para' is a named list contains different parameters depending of the transformation applied on the marker expression intensities. The scale (cofactor) of the arcsinh transformation function is parametrized using the 'arcsinh.scale' value. The shift of the log transformation function is parametrized using the 'log.shift' value and the base of the log transformation function is parametrized using the 'log.base' value. If no transformation function have been applied, the 'trans.para' slot is set to NULL.

Slots

name

a character indicating the internal name of the FCS object

profiles

a character vector containing the names of the FCS profiles

cell.nb

an integer value indicating the number of FCS profiles

markers

a character vector containing the marker names

markers.nb

an integer value indicating the number of markers

intensities

a numeric matrix containing the intensities of each marker for each FCS profile

trans

a character specifying the name of a transformation function applied on the marker expression intensities. Possible values are "arcsinh" for arc sin hyperbolic transformation, "log" for logarithmic transformation, or "none" for no transformation

trans.para

a named list containing parameters of the transformation. Please refer to the details section for more details

trans.exclude

a character vector containing the marker names for which no transformation has been applied on
