MatchedAssayExperiment-class: An integrative and matched-samples class for experiment data

In vjcitn/MultiAssayExperiment: Software for the integration of multi-omics experiments in Bioconductor

Description

This class supports the use of matched samples where an equal number of observations per biological unit are present in all assays.

Usage

MatchedAssayExperiment(experiments = ExperimentList(),
  colData = S4Vectors::DataFrame(), sampleMap = S4Vectors::DataFrame(assay =
  factor(), primary = character(), colname = character()), metadata = NULL,
  drops = list())

Arguments

experiments	A list or ExperimentList of all combined experiments
colData	A DataFrame or data.frame of characteristics for all biological units
sampleMap	A DataFrame or data.frame of assay names, sample identifiers, and colname samples
metadata	An optional argument of "ANY" class (usually list) for content describing the experiments
drops	A list of unmatched information (included after subsetting)

Value

A MatchedAssayExperiment object

Functions

• MatchedAssayExperiment: Construct a MatchedAssayExperiment class from MultiAssayExperiment inputs.
