This function creates a new consensus tree, a class for representing "recipes" for hierarchical consensus calculations.
newConsensusTree(
consensusOptions = newConsensusOptions(),
inputs,
analysisName = NULL)
A list with class set to "ConsensusTree"
with these components:
A copy of the input consensusOptions
.
A copy of the input inputs
.
A copy of the input analysisName
.
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.

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
