| asMatrixWeights {limma} | R Documentation |
Convert probe-weights or array-weights to a matrix of weights.
asMatrixWeights(weights, dim)
weights |
numeric matrix of weights, rows corresponding to probes and columns to arrays. Or vector of probe weights. Or vector of array weights. |
dim |
numeric dimension vector of length 2, i.e., the number of probes and the number of arrays. |
This function converts a vector or probe-weights or a vector of array-weights to a matrix of the correct size.
Probe-weights are repeated across rows while array-weights are repeated down the columns.
If weights has length equal to the number of probes, it is assumed to contain probe-weights.
If it has length equal to the number of arrays, it is assumed to contain array-weights.
If the number of probes is equal to the number of arrays, then weights is assumed to contain array-weights if it is a row-vector of the correct size, i.e., if it is a matrix with one row.
This function is used internally by the linear model fitting functions in limma.
Numeric matrix of dimension dim.
