DENSITY-class: DENSITY class definition

Description

DENSITY is a S4 object used to stores a marker expression density.

Details

This object mainly stores for each marker: the bin characteristics, the negative and positive marker densities values, and the number of cells used in the density estimation. Densities are stored using two numeric vectors: 'values.neg' for the negative densities and 'values.pos' for the positive densities. This strategy allows to compute and store densities without defining an absolute minimal value or an absolute maximal value.
