TFFM-class: The TFFM class

In ge11232002/TFBSTools: Software Package for Transcription Factor Binding Site (TFBS) Analysis

Description

The TFFM is a virtual class. Two classes are derived from this class: TFFMFirst and TFFMDetail.

TFFMFirst class stands for the first-order TFFMs and TFFMDetail stands for the more detailed and descriptive TFFMs.

Usage

## constructors:
  TFFMFirst(ID="Unknown", name="Unknown", matrixClass="Unknown",
            strand="+", bg=c(A=0.25, C=0.25, G=0.25, T=0.25),
            tags=list(), profileMatrix=matrix(),
            type=character(), emission=list(),
            transition=matrix())
  TFFMDetail(ID="Unknown", name="Unknown", matrixClass="Unknown",
             strand="+", bg=c(A=0.25, C=0.25, G=0.25, T=0.25),
             tags=list(), profileMatrix=matrix(),
             type=character(), emission=list(),
             transition=matrix())

Arguments

ID,name,matrixClass,strand,bg,tags,profileMatrix	See XMatrix
type	The type of TFFM.
emission	The emission distribution parameters.
transition	The transition probability matrix.

Value

A TFFM object.

Methods
