TNI-class {RTN} | R Documentation

## Class `"TNI"`: an S4 class for Transcriptional Network Inference.

### Description

This S4 class includes a series of methods to do transcriptional network inference for high-throughput gene expression.

### Slots

`gexp`:

  Object of class `"matrix"`, a gene expression matrix.

`regulatoryElements`:

  Object of class `"char_Or_NULL"`, a vector of regulatory elements (e.g. transcription factors).

`modulators`:

  Object of class `"char_Or_NULL"`, a vector with modulator identifiers.

`rowAnnotation`:

  Object of class `"data.frame"`, a data frame with row annotation (e.g. probe-to-gene information).

`colAnnotation`:

  Object of class `"data.frame"`, a data frame with column annotation (e.g. sample information).

`para`:

  Object of class `"list"`, a list of parameters for transcriptional network inference. These parameters are those listed in the functions `tni.permutation`, `tni.bootstrap` and `tni.dpi.filter`.

`results`:

  Object of class `"list"`, a list of results (see the returned values in the functions `tni.permutation`).

`summary`:

  Object of class `"list"`, a list of summary information for `gexp`, `regulatoryElements`, `para`, and `results`.

`status`:

  Object of class `"character"`, a character value specifying the status of the TNI object based on the available methods.
