DatasetExperiment {struct} | R Documentation

## DatasetExperiment class

### Description

An object for holding raw data and associated meta data

### Usage

    DatasetExperiment(
      data = data.frame(),
      sample_meta = data.frame(),
      variable_meta = data.frame(),
      ...
    )

    ## S4 method for signature 'DatasetExperiment'
    x$name

    ## S4 replacement method for signature 'DatasetExperiment'
    x$name <- value

### Arguments

`data` | A data frame with samples in rows and features in columns
`sample_meta` | A data frame with samples in rows and meta data in columns
`variable_meta` | A data frame with features in rows and meta data in columns
`...` | named slot values to pass through to struct_class
`x` | A DatasetExperiment object
`name` | DatasetExperiment slot to get/set
`value` | the value to assign to the named slot

### Details

The DatasetExperiment object is an extension of the SummarizedExperiment object from the SummarizedExperiment package (found on Bioconductor). It incorporates the basic functionality of struct objects, containing fields such as Description, Name and Type with features of SummarizedExperiment such as subsetting.

There are some important differences between DatasetExperiment and SummarizedExperiment:

- In DatasetExperiment data is stored as Samples (rows) x Features (columns)

- DatasetExperiment currently only supports a single assay

- length(DatasetExperiment) returns the number of samples

### Value

DatasetExperiment

### Slots

`name`

  Name of the dataset

`description`

  Brief description of the dataset

`type`

  The type of dataset e.g. single_block
