(Package: flowFP) :
Methods to append flowFP fingerprints to a flowFPPlex
This method joins one or more flowFP objects into a flowFPPlex. Conceptually, each instance's fingerprint feature vector is extended. An error will occur if the sample names and the class names differ. If we imagine the fingerprints as a matrix where columns are features and the rows are instances, this method binds the columns onto the existing fingerprint matrix.
These methods return the bin boundaries as a list. The number of list elements is equal to the number of features in the fingerprint. Each boundary has two points, lower left (called ll) and upper right (called ur). The dimensionality of ll and ur is the dimensionality of the flowFrame or flowSet used to construct the object.
This package is used to explore flow cytometry data through the use of fingerprints. The broad aim of the package is to transform flow cytometric data into a form amenable to algorithmic analysis tools. Thus, it is useful to think of flowFP as an intermediate step between the acquisition of high-throughput flow cytometric data and empirical modeling, machine learning and knowledge discovery.
This class is the fundamental clase for the package. It contains data and methods used to construct a model of the probability density function of a prototype dataset provided in the form of a flowFrame or flowSet.
