CALIB (version 1.38.0)

cbind: Combine RGList\_CALIB, SpikeList or ParameterList objects

Description

Combine a series of RGList\_CALIB objects or a series of SpikeList objects or a series of ParameterList objects.

Usage

"cbind"(..., deparse.level = 1) "rbind"(..., deparse.level = 1)

Arguments

...

RGList_CALIB objects, SpikeList objects or ParameterList objects .

deparse.level

see cbind in base package.

Value

An RGList_CAILB, a SpikeList ora ParameterList object holding data from all the arrays and all genes from the individual objects.

Details

cbind combines data objects assuming the same gene lists but different arrays. rbind combines data objects assuming equivalent arrays, i.e., the same RNA targets, but different genes.

For ParameterList objects, only cbind is available, because it makes no sense to rbind parameter.

For RGList_CALIB objects and SpikeList objects, cbind and rbind are both available. For cbind, the matrices of expression data from the individual objects are cbinded. The data.frames of target information, if they exist, are rbinded. The combined data object will preserve any additional components or attributes found in the first object to be combined. For rbind, the matrices of expression data are rbinded while the target information, in any, is unchanged.

R1 <- G1 <- matrix(1:8,4,2)
