Example SpatialExperiment Object with Simulated Tissue Images and Point Patterns

Source: R/data.R
sostaSPE.Rd

This dataset contains a simulated SpatialExperiment object (sostaSPE) representing three tissue images, each with a corresponding spatial point pattern. The point patterns contain different cell types (A, B, and C), distributed according to simulated tissue structures.

Usage

sostaSPE

Format

A SpatialExperiment object with the following structure:

x

Numeric; x-coordinate of each point (cell location).

y

Numeric; y-coordinate of each point (cell location).

cell_type

Factor; Cell type assigned to each point (A, B, or C).

image_name

Factor; Identifier for the tissue image (image1, image2, or image3).

Details

The dataset was generated as follows:

  • Three tissue images were simulated using simulateTissueBlobs().

  • Spatial point patterns were created for each tissue using createPointPatternTissue().

  • The point pattern data was converted into a SpatialExperiment object with spatial coordinates.
