Cluster Assignment Based on Clustering Results

Description

This method performs cluster assignment according to the posterior probabilities of clustering memberships resulted from the clustering (filtering) operations. Outliers identified will be left unassigned by default.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'flowClust'
Map(f, rm.outliers=TRUE, ...)

Arguments

f

Object returned from flowClust or filter.

rm.outliers

A logical value indicating whether outliers will be left unassigned or not.

...

Further arguments to be passed to or from other methods.

Value

A numeric vector of size N (the number of observations) indicating to which cluster each observation is assigned. Unassigned observations will be labelled as NA.

Note

Even if rm.outliers is set to FALSE, NA may still appear in the resultant vector due to the filtered observations; see the descriptions about the min.count, max.count, min and max arguments of flowClust.
