R Documentation
Class "MethyLumiSet" for containing Illumina methylation data
Description
This class inherits from the MethyLumi class (and
therefore, from eSet in Biobase) and is designed to hold both the
intensities and the calculated betas, as well as pvalues if present.
Objects from the Class
Objects can be created by calls of the form new("MethyLumiSet", assayData, phenoData, featureData, experimentData, annotation, betas). An object of this type is the main storage class for methylation data from Illumina. Subsetting, etc., works as normal (rows represent genes, columns represent samples). There is also a rudimentary history tracking system that is modeled after that from the lumi package.

Methods
[
signature(x = "MethyLumiSet"): subsetting, genes as rows, samples as columns
betas<-
signature(object = "MethyLumiSet", value = "matrix"): Set the assayData slot of the same name
betas
signature(object = "MethyLumiSet"): Get the assayData slot of the same name
boxplot
signature(x = "MethyLumiSet"): boxplot of all
sample betas
signature(object = "MethyLumiSet"): returns
a data.frame containing the history for this object
hist
signature(x = "MethyLumiSet"): histogram of the
betas for the data
initialize
signature(.Object = "MethyLumiSet")
pairs
signature(x = "MethyLumiSet"): pairs plot of the
betas for the object. Note that pairs plots of more than a few samples are not very useful.
plotSampleIntensities
signature(x = "MethyLumiSet"):
The intensities as output by the Beadstudio software often show a
considerable amount of dye bias. This method shows a graphical
example of this dye bias. In short, for each of the Cy3 and Cy5
channels, a cutoff in beta is used to calculate which Cy3 and Cy5
values should be plotted at high-methylation and low-methylation
status. Any offset between Cy3 and Cy5 when plotted in this way
likely represents dye bias and will lead to biases in the estimate
of beta.
QCdata<-
signature(object = "MethyLumiSet", value =
"MethyLumiQC"): assign QC data to the QC slot
QCdata
signature(object = "MethyLumiSet"): retrieve
the QC data.
