\description{
A set of accessor and setter generic functions to extract
either the \code{sampleMap}, the \code{\link{ExperimentList}},
\code{colData}, or \code{metadata} slots of a
\code{\link{MultiAssayExperiment}} object
}
\section{Accessors}{
Eponymous names for accessing \code{MultiAssayExperiment} slots with the
exception of the \link{ExperimentList} accessor named \code{experiments}.
\itemize{
\item colData: Access the \code{colData} slot
\item sampleMap: Access the \code{sampleMap} slot
\item experiments: Access the \link{ExperimentList} slot
\item `[[`: Access the \link{ExperimentList} slot
\item `$`: Access a column in \code{colData}
}
}
\section{Setters}{
Setter method values (i.e., '\code{function(x) <- value}'):
\itemize{
\item experiments<-: An \code{\link{ExperimentList}} object
containing experiment data of supported classes
\item sampleMap<-: A \code{\link{DataFrame}} object relating
samples to biological units and assays
\item colData<-: A \code{\link{DataFrame}} object describing the
biological units
\item metadata<-: A \code{list} object of metadata
\item `[[<-`: Equivalent to the \code{experiments<-} setter method for
convenience
\item `$<-`: A vector to replace the indicated column in \code{colData}
}
}
\examples{
## Load example MultiAssayExperiment
example(MultiAssayExperiment)
## Access the sampleMap
sampleMap(mae)
## Replacement method for a MultiAssayExperiment sampleMap
sampleMap(mae) <- S4Vectors::DataFrame()
## Access the ExperimentList
experiments(mae)
## Replace with an empty ExperimentList
experiments(mae) <- ExperimentList()
## Access the metadata
metadata(mae)
## Replace metadata with a list
metadata(mae) <- list(runDate =
format(Sys.time(), "\%B \%d, \%Y"))
## Access the colData
colData(mae)
## Access a column in colData
mae$age
## Replace a column in colData
mae$age <- mae$age + 1
