AffyBatch-class: Class AffyBatch

Description

This is a class representation for Affymetrix GeneChip probe level data. The main component are the intensities from multiple arrays of the same CDF type. It extends eSet.

Arguments

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created using the function read.affybatch or the wrapper ReadAffy.

Slots

cdfName:
Object of class character representing the name of CDF file associated with the arrays in the AffyBatch.
nrow:
Object of class integer representing the physical number of rows in the arrays.
ncol:
Object of class integer representing the physical number of columns in the arrays.
assayData:
Object of class AssayData containing the raw data, which will be at minimum a matrix of intensity values. This slot can also hold a matrix of standard errors if the 'sd' argument is set to TRUE in the call to ReadAffy.
phenoData:
Object of class AnnotatedDataFrame containing phenotypic data for the samples.
annotation
A character string identifying the annotation that may be used for the ExpressionSet instance.
protocolData:
Object of class AnnotatedDataFrame containing protocol data for the samples.
featureData
Object of class AnnotatedDataFrame containing feature-level (e.g., probeset-level) information.
experimentData:
Object of class "MIAME" containing experiment-level information.
.__classVersion__:
Object of class Versions describing the R and Biobase version number used to create the instance. Intended for developer use.

Extends

Class "eSet", directly.

Methods

cdfName
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): obtains the cdfName slot.
pm<-
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): replaces the perfect match intensities.
pm
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): extracts the pm intensities.
mm<-
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): replaces the mismatch intensities.
mm
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): extracts the mm intensities.
probes
signature(object = "AffyBatch", which): extract the perfect match or mismatch probe intensities. Uses which can be "pm" and "mm".
exprs
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): extracts the expression matrix.
exprs<-
signature(object = "AffyBatch", value = "matrix"): replaces the expression matrix.
se.exprs
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): extracts the matrix of standard errors of expression values, if available.
se.exprs<-
signature(object = "AffyBatch", value = "matrix"): replaces the matrix of standard errors of expression values.
[<-
signature(x = "AffyBatch"): replaces subsets.
[
signature(x = "AffyBatch"): subsets by array.
boxplot
signature(x = "AffyBatch"): creates a boxplots of log base 2 intensities (pm, mm or both). Defaults to both.
hist
signature(x = "AffyBatch"): creates a plot showing all the histograms of the pm,mm or both data. See plotDensity.
computeExprSet
signature(x = "AffyBatch", summary.method = "character"): For each probe set computes an expression value using summary.method.
featureNames
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): return the probe set names also referred to as the Affymetrix IDs. Notice that one can not assign featureNames. You must do this by changing the cdfenvs.
geneNames
signature(object="AffyBatch'"): deprecated, use featureNames.
getCdfInfo
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): retrieve the environment that defines the location of probes by probe set.
image
signature(x = "AffyBatch"): creates an image for each sample.
indexProbes
signature(object = "AffyBatch", which = "character"): returns a list with locations of the probes in each probe set. The affyID corresponding to the probe set to retrieve can be specified in an optional parameter genenames. By default, all the affyIDs are retrieved. The names of the elements in the list returned are the affyIDs. which can be "pm", "mm", or "both". If "both" then perfect match locations are given followed by mismatch locations. signature(object = "AffyBatch", which = "missing") (i.e., calling indexProbes without a "which" argument) is the same as setting "which" to "pm".
intensity<-
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): a replacement method for the exprs slot, i.e. the intensities.
intensity
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): extract the exprs slot, i.e. the intensities.
length
signature(x = "AffyBatch"): returns the number of samples.
pmindex
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): return the location of perfect matches in the intensity matrix.
mmindex
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): return the location of the mismatch intensities.
dim
signature(x = "AffyBatch"): Row and column dimensions.
ncol
signature(x = "AffyBatch"): An accessor function for ncol.
nrow
signature(x = "AffyBatch"): an accessor function for nrow.
normalize
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): a method to normalize. The method accepts an argument method. The default methods is specified in package options (see the main vignette).
normalize.methods
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): returns the normalization methods defined for this class. See normalize.
probeNames
signature(object = "AffyBatch"): returns the probe set associated with each row of the intensity matrix.
probeset
signature(object = "AffyBatch",genenames=NULL, locations=NULL): Extracts ProbeSet objects related to the probe sets given in genenames. If an alternative set of locations defining pms and mms a list with those locations should be passed via the locations argument.
bg.correct
signature(object = "AffyBatch", method="character") applies background correction methods defined by method.
updateObject
signature(object = "AffyBatch", ..., verbose=FALSE): update, if necessary, an object of class AffyBatch to its current class definition. verbose=TRUE provides details about the conversion process.

Examples

Run this code
if (require(affydata)) {
  ## load example
  data(Dilution)

  ## nice print
  print(Dilution)

  pm(Dilution)[1:5,]
  mm(Dilution)[1:5,]

  ## get indexes for the PM probes for the affyID "1900_at" 
  mypmindex <- pmindex(Dilution,"1900_at")
  ## same operation using the primitive
  mypmindex <- indexProbes(Dilution, which="pm", genenames="1900_at")[[1]]
  ## get the probe intensities from the index
  intensity(Dilution)[mypmindex, ]
