\title{Retrieve information on features recorded in eSet-derived
classes.}
\description{
These generic functions access feature data (experiment specific
information about features) and feature meta-data (e.g., descriptions
of feature covariates).
}
\usage{
featureData(object)
featureData(object) <- value
fData(object)
fData(object) <- value
fvarLabels(object)
fvarLabels(object) <- value
fvarMetadata(object)
fvarMetadata(object) <- value
}
\arguments{
\item{object}{Object, possibly derived from \code{\link{eSet-class}}
or \code{\link{AnnotatedDataFrame-class}}.}
\item{value}{Value to be assigned to corresponding object.}
}
\value{
\code{featureData} returns an object containing information on both
variable values and variable meta-data. \code{fvarLabels} returns a
character vector of measured variable names. \code{fData} returns a data
frame with features as rows, variables as columns. \code{fvarMetadata}
returns a data frame with variable names as rows, description tags
(e.g., unit of measurement) as columns.
