## Class "SMAPObservations": A class to manage microarray observations for the SMAP package

### Description

Holds observed microarray intensity ratios and clone annotations for the SMAP package.

### Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form `new("SMAPObservations", value, chromosome, startPosition, endPosition, name, reporterId)`. Values for internal slots (see below) are not intended to be passed upon construction. You can also use the convenience function `SMAPObservations`.

### Slots

`value`:

  Object of class `"numeric"` Microarray intensity ratios.

`chromosome`:

  Object of class `"character"` Associated chromosomes for the observations.

`startPosition`:

  Object of class `"numeric"` Associated start positions for the observations.

`endPosition`:

  Object of class `"numeric"` Associated end positions for the observations.

`reporterId`:

  Object of class `"character"` Identifiers of the observations, e.g., probe ids.

`name`:

  Object of class `"character"` An identifier of the observation set.

`noObservations`:

  Object of class `"numeric"` The number of observations in the set.

`chrom.start`:

  Object of class `"numeric"`. Internal slot.

`chroms`:

  Object of class `"character"`. Internal slot.

`distance`:

  Object of class `"numeric"`. Internal slot.

`noOverlaps`:

  Object of class `"numeric"`. Internal slot.

`overlaps`:

  Object of class `"numeric"`. Internal slot.

`overlapIds`:

  Object of class `"numeric"`. Internal slot.

`startOverlaps`:

  Object of class `"numeric"`. Internal slot.

### Methods

value

  `signature(object = "SMAPObservations")`: Returns the values of the observations.

chromosome

  `signature(object = "SMAPObservations")`: Returns the chromosome annotations of the observations.

startPosition

  `signature(object = "SMAPObservations")`: Returns the start positions of the observations.

endPosition

  `signature(object = "SMAPObservations")`: Returns the end positions of the observations.

reporterId

  `signature(object = "SMAPObservations")`: Returns the identifiers of the observations.

name

  `signature(object = "SMAPObservations")`: Returns the name of the observation set.

noObservations

  `signature(object = "SMAPObservations")`: Returns the number of observations in the set.

initialize

  `signature(.Object = "SMAPObservations")`: Creates an instance.

plot

  `signature(x = "SMAPObservations", y = "missing")`: A plot method for the observations.

[

  `signature(x = "SMAPPObservations")`: Creates a new object of class SMAPObservations with extracted elements as specified by the indices provided.
