Constructors

This class is abstract and thus does not implement a constructor.

Interfaces

This class implements no interfaces.

Enumerations

The class does not provide enumerations.

Properties

Ths interface does not define properties.

Methods

Public Function createMiningDataFromGainsLossesStructs(Optional ByVal Resolution As ChromosomeData.eResolutionLevel = ChromosomeData.eResolutionLevel.ResolutionArm) As MiningInputData

Is intended to create a MiningInputData object from the cytoband list of aberrations (GainsLossesStructs) calculated from the data of the collection implementing this interface.

Return Value

• a MiningInputData object based on the cytoband list.

Parameters

• Resolution: the resolution required for the calculation of the cytoband list.

Remarks

• If no resolution is given, the resolution will be set to chromosomal arm.
• The function is intended to calculate the cytoband list for each case at the required resolution and to add it to the mining data.
• At the level of the chromosomal bands, the function is to inquire if an aberration did occur there; its quantity does not matter.

Public Function createMiningDataFromSCCNAberrations(Optional ByVal Resolution As ChromosomeData.eResolutionLevel = ChromosomeData.eResolutionLevel.ResolutionNone) As MiningInputData

Is intended to create a MiningInputData object from the SCCN aberrations (QuantitativeAberrations and QualitativeAberrations) calculated from the data of the collection implementing this interface.

Return Value

• a MiningInputData object based on the SCCN aberrations.

Parameters

• Resolution: the resolution required for the calculation of the SCCN aberrations.

Remarks

• If no resolution is given, the resolution will be set to none.
• The function is intended to calculate the SCCN aberations for each case at the required resolution and to add them to the mining data.
• CGH data do not give raise to QualitativeAberrations, hence the return value for CGH cases will be based on  QuantitativeAberrations only.
• Only the occurence of an SCCN aberration, but not its quantity, is relevant in this function.

Public Function createMiningDataFromStandardAberrationElements() As MiningInputData

Is intended to create a MiningInputData object from the standard aberration elements (CGH aberrations or ISCN aberrations) calculated from the data of the collection implementing this interface.

Return Value

• a MiningInputData object based on the standard CGH aberrations.

Remarks

• Only the occurence of an aberration, but not its quantity, is relevant in this function.
• Aberrations are taken as denoted in the ISCN at their respective resolution.

Interaction with other classes

Classes using IMinable
