R: Class '"acomp"'

acomp-class {compositions} | R Documentation

## Class `"acomp"`

### Description

The S4-version of the data container "acomp" for compositional data. More information in `acomp`

### Objects from the Class

A virtual Class: No objects may be directly created from it. This is provided to ensure that acomp objects behave as data.frame or structure under certain circumstances. Use `acomp` to create these objects.

### Slots

`.Data`:

  Object of class `"list"` containing the data itself

`names`:

  Object of class `"character"` with column names

`row.names`:

  Object of class `"data.frameRowLabels"` with row names

`.S3Class`:

  Object of class `"character"` with the class string

### Extends

Class `"data.frame"`, directly. Class `"compositional"`, directly. Class `"list"`, by class "data.frame", distance 2. Class `"oldClass"`, by class "data.frame", distance 2. Class `"vector"`, by class "data.frame", distance 3.

### Methods

coerce

  `signature(from = "acomp", to = "data.frame")`: to generate a data.frame

coerce

  `signature(from = "acomp", to = "structure")`: to generate a structure (i.e. a vector, matrix or array)

coerce<-

  `signature(from = "acomp", to = "data.frame")`: to overwrite a composition with a data.frame
