## Print Method for Time Course Analysis

### Description

methods for the print and summary generics that print relevant results when performing a Time Course Analysis for detecting differentially expressed genes in gene expression data.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'TC'
    print(x, ...)

    ## S3 method for class 'TC'
    summary(object, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | an object of class '`TC`' as returned by function `tc`.
`object` | an object of class '`TC`' as returned by function `tc`.
`...` | further arguments passed to or from other methods.

### Details

With `print`, at each time point, if the desired FDR level was achieved (i.e. `x$astar <= x$alpha`), the results are printed for the differentially expressed genes and 10 more rows only. If the desired FDR level was not achieved, only ten rows are displayed.

`summary` prints a more concise version of the results.

### See Also

`tc`, `plot.TC`.

### Examples

    ## Time course analysis for 500 genes with 10 treatment
    ## replicates and 10 control replicates
    tPts <- c("h0", "12h", "24h")
    n <- 500; p <- 20; p1 <- 10
    Z <- vector("list", 3)
    des <- vector("list", 3)
    for(tp in 1:3){ des[[tp]] <- c(rep(1, p1), rep(2, (p-p1))) }
    mu <- as.matrix(rexp(n, rate=1))
    ### h0 time point (no diff. expr.)
    Z[[1]] <- t(apply(mu, 1, function(mui) rnorm(p, mean=mui, sd=1)))
    ### h12 time point (diff. expr. begins)
    Z[[2]] <- t(apply(mu, 1, function(mui) rnorm(p, mean=mui, sd=1)))
    #### Up regulated genes
    Z[[2]][1:5,1:p1] <- Z[[2]][1:5,1:p1] +
        matrix(runif(5*p1, 1, 3), nrow=5)
    #### Down regulated genes
    Z[[2]][6:15,(p1+1):p] <- Z[[2]][6:15,(p1+1):p] +
        matrix(runif(10*(p-p1), 1, 2), nrow=10)
    ### h24 time point (maximum differential expression)
    Z[[3]] <- t(apply(mu, 1, function(mui) rnorm(p, mean=mui, sd=1)))
    #### 5 up regulated genes
    Z[[3]][1:5,1:p1] <- Z[[3]][1:5,1:p1] + 5
    #### 10 down regulated genes
    Z[[3]][6:15,(p1+1):p] <- Z[[3]][6:15,(p1+1):p] + 4
