Create a new CoProMulti object for Multi-Slide Analysis

Initializes a CoProMulti object with combined data from multiple slides.

Usage

newCoProMulti(normalizedData, locationData, metaData, cellTypes, slideID)

# S4 method for class 'ANY,matrixOrDataFrame,data.frame,factorOrCharacter,factorOrCharacter'
newCoProMulti(normalizedData, locationData, metaData, cellTypes, slideID)

Arguments

normalizedData

Combined normalized expression matrix (cells x genes) for all slides. Rownames should be unique cell identifiers.

locationData

Combined location data frame (cells x coordinates) for all slides. Rownames must match normalizedData. Columns 'x', 'y', (and optionally 'z') required.

metaData

Combined metadata data frame (cells x annotations) for all slides. Rownames must match normalizedData.

cellTypes

Combined cell type labels vector for all cells. Length must match nrow(normalizedData).

slideID

Combined slide/sample identifier vector for all cells. Length must match nrow(normalizedData).

Value

A CoProMulti object.
