Update a serialised spiDE object to the current class definition

Slots added to a class do not appear in objects serialised before they existed. Reading such an object still works, but anything that triggers validity — notably initialize(), the documented idiom for re-combining fits across bandwidths — fails. These methods fill any absent slot from the class prototype and leave every present slot untouched.

Usage

# S4 method for class 'SpiDEFit'
updateObject(object, ..., verbose = FALSE)

# S4 method for class 'SpiDEResults'
updateObject(object, ..., verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

object: a SpiDEFit or SpiDEResults, possibly from an older version.
...: ignored.
verbose: report which slots were filled.

Value

the object, with any slots missing since serialisation filled from the class prototype.

Examples

data(toySpiDE)
spe <- buildNiches(toySpiDE, sigma = 20)
fit <- fitSpiDE(spe, condition = "condition", sigma = 20, random = "none", verbose = FALSE)
updateObject(fit)
#> SpiDEResults
#> Bandwidths (sigma): 20
#> Genes: 20
#> Condition: condition
#> Index cell types: A, B, C
#> Niche cell types: A, B, C
#> Tested: FALSE (0 rows in results table)
