flowStats (version 3.30.0)

plotBins: Plots the probability bins overlaid with flowFrame data

Description

This function is useful in visualizing the differences between the binned control and sample datasets. The bins generated from the control dataset are overlaid with the sample dataset. An optional argument residuals can be used to shade each bin based on a calculated statistical measure of difference between the number of events in each bin.

Usage

plotBins(binRes,data,channels,title,residuals,shadeFactor)

Arguments

binRes

The result generated by calling the probBin function on a control dataset.

data

An object of class flowFrame sample(dataset)

channels

The flow parameters to be plotted.In cases where more than two parameters are binned from the control set, the plotBins function plots the projections of the hyperplanes in 2 dimensions)

title

Optional title for the plot generated

residuals

A vector of length equal to the number of bins generated that can be used to shade each bin. The residuals from the calcPearsonChi function or the calcPBChiSquare function can be used to highlight the bins that are different between control and sample datasets

shadeFactor

Optional argument between 0 and 1 that controls the intensity of the shading of bins

Examples

data(GvHD)
# flow frame 1 is treated as  control dataset and used to generate bins
resCtrl<-proBin(GvHD[[1]],200,channels=c("FSC-H","SSC-H"))
plotBins(resCtrl,GvHD[[1]],channels=c("FSC-H","SSC-H"),title="Binned control data")
# Same bins are applied to flowFrame 16
resSample<-binByRef(resCtrl,GvHD[[16]])
stat<-calcPearsonChi(resCtrl,resSample)
dev.new()
plotBins(resCtrl,data=GvHD[[16]],channels=c("FSC-H","SSC-H","Time"),title="Comparision 1 & 16",
residuals=stat$residuals[2,],shadeFactor=0.7)
