FitClass-class {RPPASPACE}

Class “FitClass”

Description

The FitClass class is a virtual class representing the model that was fit in the RPPAFit routine. Functions for use with FitClass are only to be used internally.

Usage

is.FitClass(x)
## S4 method for signature 'FitClass'
coef(object, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'FitClass'
coefficients(object, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'FitClass'
fitSeries(object,
          diln,
          intensity,
          est.conc,
          method="nls",
          silent=TRUE,
          trace=FALSE,
          ...)
## S4 method for signature 'FitClass'
fitSlide(object,
         conc,
         intensity,
         ...)
## S4 method for signature 'FitClass'
fitted(object,
       conc,
       ...)
## S4 method for signature 'FitClass'
trimConc(object,
         conc,
         intensity,
         design,
         trimLevel,
         ...)

Arguments

x

object of (sub)class FitClass

object

object of (sub)class FitClass

diln

numeric vector of dilutions for series to be fit

intensity

numeric vector of observed intensities for series to be fit

est.conc

numeric estimated concentration for EC50 dilution

method

character string specifying regression method to use to fit the series

silent

logical scalar. If TRUE, report of error messages will be suppressed in try(nlsmeth(...))

trace

logical scalar. Used in nls method.

conc

numeric vector containing current estimates of concentration for each series

design

object of class RPPADesignParams describing options for processing the array

trimLevel

numeric scalar multiplied to Median Absolute Deviation MAD

...

extra arguments for generic routines

Value

The is.FitClass method returns TRUE if its argument is an object of subclass of class FitClass.

The coef and coefficients methods return NULL.

Objects from the Class

This class should not be instantiated directly; extend this class instead.

Methods

coef

signature(object = "FitClass"):
Placeholder method which should be implemented by subclass if appropriate for the particular model.

coefficients

signature(object = "FitClass"):
An alias for coef.

fitSeries

signature(object = "FitClass"):
Placeholder method which must be implemented by subclass.

fitSlide

signature(object = "FitClass"):
Placeholder method which must be implemented by subclass.

fitted

signature(object = "FitClass"):
Placeholder method which must be implemented by subclass.

trimConc

signature(object = "FitClass"):
Placeholder method which must be implemented by subclass.
