uwmwEstimate-class: The class uwmwEstimate
Description
This class represents an estimate object resulting from a
call to getEstimate. It contains all
information about the estimate, including standard errors
and confidence intervals if requested. For this class a
number of methods is foreseen, including the accessors for
the slots. The class is sortable and can be indexed, so you
can use this for making custom forest plots using the
function forestplot.
Slots
esttype:- object of class
"character", containing the estimate type. This
can be logor for log odds ratio, or for odds ratio, odds,
logodds for the log odds or p for the probability. names:- object of class
"character",
containing the names of the genes for which the estimates
are calculated.
est:- object of class
"numeric", containing the estimates itself. se:- object of class
"numeric",
containing the estimates for the standard error, if
applicable.
ll:- object of class
"numeric", containing the lower limit of the
confidence interval.
ul:- object of class
"numeric", containing the upper limit of the
confidence interval.
refest:- object of
class
"numeric", containing the estimate for the
reference used in the analysis. Note that this only makes
sense for log odds, odds and probabilities. refse:- object of class
"numeric",
containing the se estimate for the reference if
applicable.
refll:- object of class
"numeric", containing the lower limit for the
reference if applicable.
reful:- object of
class
"numeric", containing the upper limit for
the reference if applicable.
type:- vector
of class
"character", containing the type of
reference used in the original analysis. This can be
either "O" or "H" for Overall respectively Housekeeping
Expression as reference.
confint:- vector
of class
"numeric"
, indicating the limit used for
the confidence interval. 0.95 represents the 95%
confidence interval. housekeeping:- object
of class
"character", containing either NULL or
the names of the housekeeping genes used in the H version
of uWMW. groupinfo:- character vector of length 2,
indicating the groups. This slot is mainly used to show
how the probabilistic indices are calculated.
