| is.unsorted {BiocGenerics} | R Documentation |
Test if a vector-like object is not sorted, without the cost of sorting it.
NOTE: This man page is for the is.unsorted
S4 generic function defined in the BiocGenerics package.
See ?base::is.unsorted for the default method
(defined in the base package).
Bioconductor packages can define specific methods for objects
(typically vector-like) not supported by the default method.
is.unsorted(x, na.rm=FALSE, strictly=FALSE, ...)
x |
A vector-like object. |
na.rm, strictly |
See |
... |
Additional arguments, for use in specific methods. Note that |
See ?base::is.unsorted for the value returned
by the default method.
Specific methods defined in Bioconductor packages should behave as consistently as possible with the default method.
TO DEVELOPERS:
The is.unsorted method for specific vector-like objects should
adhere to the same underlying order used by the
order, sort,
and rank methods for the same objects.
base::is.unsorted for the default
is.unsorted method.
showMethods for displaying a summary of the
methods defined for a given generic function.
selectMethod for getting the definition of
a specific method.
is.unsorted,GenomicRanges-method in
the GenomicRanges package for an example of a specific
is.unsorted method (defined for
GenomicRanges objects).
