demi (version 1.1.2)

getResult: Returns the result parameter

Description

Returns the result parameter stored in the specified object. If the object is of class DEMIExperiment then it returns a list of DEMIResult objects. If the object is of class DEMIDiff then it returns only one DEMIResult object. But if the object is of class DEMIResult then the function returns a list that contains the results for every cluster in a data.frame. However instead of using this function it maybe easier to use the function getResultTable that returns the result parameter as a data.frame.

Usage

getResult(object)
"getResult"(object)
"getResult"(object)
"getResult"(object)

Arguments

object

A DEMIExperiment, DEMIDiff or DEMIResult object.

Value

Returns the result parameter. For objects of class DEMIExperiment it returns a list of DEMIResult objects. For objects of class DEMIDiff it returns a single DEMIResult object and for objects of class DEMIResult it returns a list.
