SingleCellExpressionDataMatrix (Gemma 1.32.0-SNAPSHOT API)

All Superinterfaces:

ExpressionDataMatrix<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

SingleCellExpressionDataDoubleMatrix, SingleCellExpressionDataIntMatrix
```
public interface SingleCellExpressionDataMatrix<T>
extends ExpressionDataMatrix<T>
```
In a single-cell expression data matrix, each column represents a cell.
Note that the matrix implementation does not deal with all the complication that you may encounter in BulkExpressionDataMatrix. For example, a single-cell data matrix may only hold vectors from one given quantitation type and single cell dimension at a time.

- Method Detail
  - getQuantitationType
```
QuantitationType getQuantitationType()
```
    Return the quantitation type for this matrix.
  - getSingleCellDimension
```
SingleCellDimension getSingleCellDimension()
```
    Return the single-cell dimension for this matrix.
  - getColumn
```
T[] getColumn(int column)
```
    Access a single column of the matrix.
    Important note: Retrieving a column is a O(n log m) operation where n is the number of vectors and m is the number of cells. Always favour row-oriented operations when possible.
