This function creates a new consensus tree, a class for representing "recipes" for hierarchical consensus calculations.
newConsensusTree(
consensusOptions = newConsensusOptions(),
inputs,
analysisName = NULL)An object of class ConsensusOptions, usually obtained by calling newConsensusOptions.
A vector (or list) of inputs. Each component can be either a character string giving a names of a data set,
or another ConsensusTree object.
Optional specification of a name for this consensus analysis. While this has no effect on the actual consensus calculation, some functions use this character string to make certain file names unique.
A list with class set to "ConsensusTree" with these components:
consensusOptionsA copy of the input consensusOptions.
inputsA copy of the input inputs.
analysisNameA copy of the input analysisName.
Consensus trees specify a "recipe" for the calculation of hierarchical consensus in
hierarchicalConsensusCalculation and other functions.
hierarchicalConsensusCalculation for hierarchical consensus calculation for which a
ConsensusTree object specifies the recipe
