create_encoding {biogram}

Create encoding

Description

Reduces an alphabet using physicochemical properties.

Usage

create_encoding(prop, len)

Arguments

prop

matrix of properties with number of column equal to the length of the alphabet. Column must be named after elements of the alphabet. Each row represents a different physicochemical property.

len

length of the resulting encoding. Must be larger than zero and smaller than number of elements in the alphabet.

Details

The encoding is a list of groups to which elements of an alphabet should be reduced. All elements of the alphabet (all amino acids or all nucleotides) should appear in the encoding.

Value

An encoding.

calc_ed: calculate the encoding distance between two encodings. encoding2df: converts an encoding to a data frame. validate_encoding: validate a structure of an encoding.

Examples

enc1 = list(`1` = c("a", "t"), 
            `2` = c("g", "c"))
encoding2df(enc1)
