maigesRelNetM-class:
maigesRelNetM class, store results of relevance network analysis
(comparing two sample types)
Description
This class defines a structure to store the results of relevance network analysis,
using a method that compare the correlation values between pairs of
genes in two different sample types by a
z-transformation. Objects of this type are generated calling
the function relNetworkM.
Slots
W:- numeric matrix giving the W values of the genes
tested. This information is useful for doing plots representing the
correlation coefficient values.
Corr1:- numerical square matrix that store the
correlation coefficient values between all pair of genes tested
for the first sample type.
Corr2:- numerical matrix similar to the previous one,
storing the correlation values for the second sample type.
DifP:- numerical matrix that store the p-value for the
comparison between the correlation values of both sample types tested.
types:- character vector giving the names of sample
types tested.
Slabel:- string with the sample label used to define
the two sample types tested.
Date:- character string giving the date and time that
the object was generated.
V.info:- list containg three characters. The first one is
a string containing the R version used when the object was
created. The second is a char vector with base packages and the
last one is another char vector with additional packages and
version numbers.
Methods
- image
signature(x = 'maigesRelNetM'): image method for
maigesRelNetM class. Display colour representation of
the correlation and p-values matrices.- plot
signature(x = 'maigesRelNetM'): plot method for
maigesRelNetM class. Display circular graphs
representing the relevance networks.- print
signature(x = 'maigesRelNetM'): print method for
maigesRelNetM class.- show
signature(x = 'maigesRelNetM'): show method for
maigesRelNetM class.- summary
signature(x = 'maigesRelNetM'): summary method for
maigesRelNetM class.
Details
Objects of this class are produced by calling the functions
relNetworkM over an object of class maiges
to search for pairs of genes with altered correlation values between
two sample types tested.
