R Documentation

Simple calculation of a single consenus

Description

This function calculates a single consensus from given individual data.

Usage

simpleConsensusCalculation(
  individualData, 
  consensusOptions, 
  verbose = 1, 
  indent = 0)

Arguments

`individualData`	Individual data from which the consensus is to be calculated. It can be either a list or a `multiData` structure in which each element is a numeric vector or array.
`consensusOptions`	A list of class `ConsensusOptions` that contains options for the consensus calculation. A suitable list can be obtained by calling function `newConsensusOptions`.
`verbose`	Integer level of verbosity of diagnostic messages. Zero means silent, higher values make the output progressively more and more verbose.
`indent`	Indentation for diagnostic messages. Zero means no indentation, each unit adds two spaces.

Details

Consensus is defined as the element-wise (also known as "parallel") quantile of of the individual data at probability given by the consensusQuantile element of consensusOptions.

Value

A numeric vector or array of the same dimensions as each element of individualData
