snp.matrix-class: Class "snp.matrix"

Description

This class defines objects holding large arrays of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes generated using array technologies.

Arguments

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("snp.matrix", x) where x is a matrix with storage mode "raw". Chips (usually corresponding to samples or subjects) define rows of the matrix while polymorphisms (loci) define columns. Rows and columns will usually have names which can be used to link the data to further data concerning samples and SNPs

Slots

.Data:
Object of class "matrix" and storage mode raw Internally, missing data are coded 00 and SNP genotypes are coded 01, 02 or 03.

Extends

Class "matrix", from data part. Class "structure", by class "matrix". Class "array", by class "matrix". Class "vector", by class "matrix", with explicit coerce. Class "vector", by class "matrix", with explicit coerce.

Methods

[]
signature(x = "snp.matrix"): subset operations. Currently rather slow owing to excessive copying.
cbind2
signature(x = "snp.matrix", y = "snp.matrix"): S4 generic function to provide cbind() for two or more matrices together by column. Row names must match and column names must not coincide. If the matrices are of the derived class X.snp.matrix-class, the Female slot values must also agree
coerce
signature(from = "snp.matrix", to = "numeric"): map to codes 0, 1, 2, or NA
coerce
signature(from = "snp.matrix", to = "character"): map to codes "A/A", "A/B", "B/B", ""
coerce
signature(from = "matrix", to = "snp.matrix"): maps numeric matrix (coded 0, 1, 2 or NA) to a snp.matrix
coerce
signature(from = "snp.matrix", to = "X.snp.matrix"): maps a snp.matrix to an X.snp.matrix. Sex is inferred from the genotype data since males should not be heterozygous at any locus. After inferring sex, heterozygous calls for males are set to NA
is.na
signature(x = "snp.matrix"): returns a logical matrix indicating whether each element is NA
rbind2
signature(x = "snp.matrix", y = "snp.matrix"): S4 generic function to provide rbind() for two or more matrices by row. Column names must match and duplicated row names prompt warnings
show
signature(object = "snp.matrix"): shows the size of the matrix (since most objects will be too large to show in full)
summary
signature(object = "snp.matrix"): calculate call rates, allele frequencies, genotype frequencies, and z-tests for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Results are returned as a dataframe with column names Calls, Call.rate, MAF, P.AA, P.AB, P.BB, and z.HWE
is.na
signature(x = "snp.matrix"): returns a logical matrix of missing call indicators
show
signature(object = "snp.matrix"): ...
summary
signature(object = "snp.matrix"): ...

Examples

Run this code
data(testdata)
summary(summary(Autosomes))

# Just making it up - 3-10 will be made into NA during conversion
snps.class<-new("snp.matrix", matrix(1:10))
snps.class
if(!isS4(snps.class)) stop("constructor is not working")

pretend.X <- as(Autosomes, 'X.snp.matrix')
if(!isS4(pretend.X)) stop("coersion to derived class is not S4")
if(class(pretend.X) != 'X.snp.matrix') stop("coersion to derived class is not working")

pretend.A <- as(Xchromosome, 'snp.matrix')
if(!isS4(pretend.A)) stop("coersion to base class is not S4")
if(class(pretend.A) != 'snp.matrix') stop("coersion to base class is not working")
