Matrix access

For ligerDataset object, rawData(), normData, scaleData() and scaleUnsharedData() methods are exported for users to access the corresponding feature expression matrix. Replacement methods are also available to modify the slots.

For other matrices, such as the \(H\) and \(V\), which are dataset specific, please use getMatrix() method with specifying slot name. Directly accessing slot with @ is generally not recommended.

H5 file and information access

A ligerDataset object has a slot called h5fileInfo, which is a list object. The first element is called $H5File, which is an H5File class object and is the connection to the input file. The second element is $filename which stores the absolute path of the H5 file in the current machine. The third element $formatType stores the name of preset being used, if applicable. The other following keys pair with paths in the H5 file that point to specific data for constructing a feature expression matrix.

h5fileInfo() method access the list described above and simply retrieves the corresponding value. When info = NULL, returns the whole list. When length(info) == 1, returns the requested list value. When more info requested, returns a subset list.

The replacement method modifies the list elements and corresponding slot value (if applicable) at the same time. For example, running h5fileInfo(obj, "rawData") <- newPath not only updates the list, but also updates the rawData slot with the H5D class data at "newPath" in the H5File object.

getH5File() is a wrapper and is equivalent to h5fileInfo(obj, "H5File").

Feature metadata access

A slot featureMeta is included for each ligerDataset object. This slot requires a DataFrame-class object, which is the same as cellMeta slot of a liger object. However, the associated S4 methods only include access to the whole table for now. Internal information access follows the same way as data.frame operation. For example, featureMeta(ligerD)$nCell or featureMeta(ligerD)[varFeatures(ligerObj), "gene_var"].

Dimensionality

For a ligerDataset object, the column orientation is assigned for cells and rows are for features. Therefore, for ligerDataset objects, dim() returns a numeric vector of two numbers which are number of features and number of cells. dimnames() returns a list of two character vectors, which are the feature names and the cell barcodes.

For direct call of dimnames<- method, value should be a list with a character vector of feature names as the first element and cell identifiers as the second element. For colnames<- method, the character vector of cell identifiers. For rownames<- method, the character vector of feature names.

Subsetting

For more detail of subsetting a liger object or a ligerDataset object, please check out subsetLiger and subsetLigerDataset. Here, we set the S3 method "single-bracket" [ as a quick wrapper to subset a ligerDataset object. i and j serves as feature and cell subscriptor, respectively, which can be any valid index refering the available features and cells in a dataset. ... arugments are passed to subsetLigerDataset so that advanced options are allowed.

Concatenate ligerDataset

cbind() method is implemented for concatenating ligerDataset objects by cells. When applying, all feature expression matrix will be merged with taking a union of all features for the rows.
