Summarize PlySummarizedExperiment

Usage

# S3 method for class 'PlySummarizedExperiment'
summarize(.data, ..., .retain = c("auto", "ungrouped", "none"))

# S3 method for class 'PlySummarizedExperiment'
summarise(.data, ..., .retain = c("auto", "ungrouped", "none"))

Arguments

.data

An object Inheriting from PlySummarizedExperiment, the wrapper class for SummarizedExperiment objects

...

expressions to summarize the object

.retain

This argument controls how rowData() or colData() is retained after summarizing. When "auto" (the default), .retain behavior depends on the groupings of .data. When exactly one dimension is grouped, "auto" behaves like "ungrouped-dim", and "none" otherwise. When "ungrouped-dim", the ungrouped dimension's data are retained in the resulting SummarizedExperiment object and scalar outputs are recycled to the length of the ungrouped dimension. When "none", all outputs are expected to be scalar and only computed values are retained in rowData() and colData()

Value

an object inheriting PlySummarizedExperiment class
