rnalysis.filtering.CountFilter.symmetric_difference

CountFilter.symmetric_difference(other: Union[Filter, set], return_type: Literal['set', 'str'] = 'set')

Returns a set/string of the WBGene indices that exist either in the first Filter object/set OR the second, but NOT in both (set symmetric difference).

Parameters

• other (Filter or set.) – a second Filter object/set to calculate symmetric difference with.

• return_type ('set' or 'str' (default='set')) – If ‘set’, returns a set of the features that exist in exactly one Filter object. If ‘str’, returns a string of the features that exist in exactly one Filter object, delimited by a comma.

Return type

set or str

Returns

a set/string of the features that that exist t in exactly one Filter. (set symmetric difference).

Examples

>>> from rnalysis import filtering
>>> d = filtering.DESeqFilter("tests/test_files/test_deseq.csv")
>>> counts = filtering.CountFilter('tests/test_files/counted.csv')
>>> # calculate difference and return a set
>>> d.symmetric_difference(counts)
