Field Details

LEGACY_KEY_UNIQUE_ID

@Deprecated
public static final String LEGACY_KEY_UNIQUE_ID

Deprecated.

The key used before v0.4.0 to represent a unique (usually patient) ID. This was replaced by #KEY_CASE_ID.

See Also:

• Constant Field Values

KEY_CASE_ID

public static final String KEY_CASE_ID

Metadata key to store a case identify for the TMA core. This can be used to group cores that belong to the same case.

See Also:

• Constant Field Values

KEY_OVERALL_SURVIVAL

public static final String KEY_OVERALL_SURVIVAL

Metadata key for an overall survival (temporal) value.

See Also:

• Constant Field Values

KEY_RECURRENCE_FREE_SURVIVAL

public static final String KEY_RECURRENCE_FREE_SURVIVAL

Metadata key for an recurrence-free survival (temporal) value.

See Also:

• Constant Field Values

KEY_OS_CENSORED

public static final String KEY_OS_CENSORED

Metadata key for an overall survival censored flag.

See Also:

• Constant Field Values

KEY_RFS_CENSORED

public static final String KEY_RFS_CENSORED

Metadata key for an recurrence-free survival censored flag.

See Also:

• Constant Field Values

Constructor Details

TMACoreObject

public TMACoreObject()

Default constructor. Should not be used directly, instead use PathObjects.createTMACoreObject(double, double, double, boolean).

Method Details

isMissing

public boolean isMissing()

Query the 'missing' flag for this core.

Returns:

setMissing

public void setMissing(boolean missing)

Set the missing flag for this core, for example because insufficient tissue is present. 'Missing' cores are typically ignored during analysis.

Parameters:

missing -

getCaseID

public String getCaseID()

Get the case ID metadata value.

Returns:

See Also:

• setCaseID(String)

setCaseID

public void setCaseID(String caseID)

Set the case ID metadata value. This is typically used to store a patient identifier, and must be unique for the patient (but multiple cores may have the same ID if they correspond to the same patient).

Parameters:

caseID -

putMetadataValue

@Deprecated
public Object putMetadataValue(String key,
 String value)

Deprecated.

v0.6.0. Use putMetadataValue(String, String) instead.

Put a metadata value

Specified by:

putMetadataValue in interface MetadataStore

Parameters:

key -

value -

Returns:

any previous metadata value, or null if none

getMetadataString

@Deprecated
public String getMetadataString(String key)

Deprecated.

v0.6.0. Use PathObject.getMetadata() to directly access metadata instead.

Get a string metadata value

Specified by:

getMetadataString in interface MetadataStore

Parameters:

key -

Returns:

getMetadataValue

@Deprecated
public Object getMetadataValue(String key)

Deprecated.

v0.6.0. Use PathObject.getMetadata() to directly access metadata instead.

Get a metadata value of any kind.

Specified by:

getMetadataValue in interface MetadataStore

Parameters:

key -

Returns:

getMetadataKeys

@Deprecated
public Set<String> getMetadataKeys()

Deprecated.

v0.6.0. Use PathObject.getMetadata() to directly access metadata instead.

Get all metadata keys.

Specified by:

getMetadataKeys in interface MetadataStore

Returns:

clearMetadata

@Deprecated
public void clearMetadata()

Deprecated.

v0.6.0. Use PathObject.getMetadata() to directly access metadata instead.

Clear all associated metadata.
