dispTable {DESeq} | R Documentation

## Accessor function for the dispTable information in a CountDataSet

### Description

The dispersion table ("dispTable") is a named vector that assigns to each condition (as name) a dispersion column (as value). If `nbinomTest` is called to compare two conditions, say "A" and "B", DESeq looks up in the dispTable, which dispersion columns to use. In the standard case (see example), these are just the dispersions for "A" and "B", i.e., the columns `disp_A` and `disp_B` in `fData(object)`. If the "pooled" or "blind" variance estimation is used, all conditions are assigned the same column.

### Usage

    dispTable(object,...)

### Arguments

`object` | a CountDataSet
`...` | further argumnts are ignored
