otu_table-class: The S4 class for storing taxa-abundance information.
Description
Because orientation of these tables can vary by method,
the orientation is defined explicitly in the
taxa_are_rows
slot (a logical). The
otu_table
class inherits the matrix
class to store abundance values. Various standard subset
and assignment nomenclature has been extended to apply to
the otu_table
class, including square-bracket,
t
, etc.
