exprs-methods: Get/Set Expression Values

Description

Get/set expression values from/for class ExprTreeSet.

Usage

exprs(object) exprs(object, treenames = NULL) <- value

Arguments

object

object of class ExprTreeSet.

treenames

character vector containing optional tree names to be used as subset.

value

data.frame containing expression values.

Details

Get the expression values from slot data or set slot data to value.

Method exprs returns the expression values from slot data as data.frame, while replacement method exprs<- allows to replace slot data with a data.frame.

In order to create an ExprTreeSet containing only a subset of slot data, first export slot data using method exprs, create a character vector containing only treenames to be used in the subset, and then use replacement method exprs<- to replace slot data with the subset. Slots treenames and numtrees will be updated automatically.

Note: When creating character vector treenames it is sufficient to use the name part of the tree name w/o the extension.

Note: If you do not want to replace your current object, create first a copy of type ExprTreeSet by simply writing newobj <- oldobj, and use newobj for replacement. This is important since exprs<- does also update slots treenames and numtrees as already mentioned.
