counts-methods: Method for getting fingerprint data.
Description
These read-only methods retrieve data out of a fingerprint in three
different transformations: “raw”, “normalized”, “log2norm”.
Methods
counts(object, transformation=c("raw", "normalized", "log2norm")
- object = "flowFP"
- This method returns a feature vector for each instance
in the
flowFP, the user can change the way the features are represented,
by using the transformation argument. see below. - object = "flowFPPlex"
- For a
flowFPPlex the code assembles all of the
counts matrices from all of the flowFP contained in the flowFPPlex.
Details
Transformations: There are three representations of the data that the user has access to,
"raw" is the number of events in each bin, "normalized" is the ratio of the number of
events divided by the expected number (the expected number of events is calculated
by dividing the total number of events in the instance used to make the fingerprint
by the number of features in the fingerprint). "log2norm" is the log2 of the
normalized values.
