I am working with FlowWorkspace to analyse some FACS data.

After creating a GatingSet I want to apply a filter based on the norm2Filter function from the flowCore package.
However it gives me an error, adding a rectangle gate etc. works fine.

Code:

n2f <- norm2Filter(filterId=“all cells",x=c("FSC-A","SSC-A"),scale.factor=2)
add(gs,n2f,parent="root")
replicating filter 'all cells' across samples!
Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable)  :
  unable to find an inherited method for function ‘filterObject’ for signature ‘"norm2Filter”’

I couldn’t find anything regarding this issue anywhere, also the flowCore package states that any flowCore filter theoretically can be used.

Am I doing something wrong?

Cheers,
Christian Oertlin

Christian,

GatingSet only supports the concrete gate, i.e. either a geometrical gate (e.g. polygonGate, rectangleGate or ellipoidGate) or a boolean combinations (i.e. booleanFilter). 

'norm2Filter' is an abstract gate, or more accurately speaking, an automated gating algorithm that generates the data-driven gates. So you have to first compute the geometrical gates from 'norm2Filter'. e.g.

n2f <- norm2Filter(filterId='all cells',x=c("FSC-A","SSC-A"),scale.factor=2)

#get the flow data
fs <- getData(gs,"root")

#perform the filtering/gating
res <- filter(fs, n2f)

#extract the ellipsoidGate from the filterResults
res <- lapply(res, function(thisRes){
  thisRes <- filterDetails(thisRes[[1]])[["all cells"]]
  g <- ellipsoidGate(thisRes[["cov"]], mean = thisRes[["center"]], distance = thisRes[["radius"]])
})

#add ellipsoidGate to GatingSet
add(gs, res, parent="root", name = "all cells")
recompute(gs)

You also want to check out the 'openCyto' package that provides a more general framework for this type of automated gating method.
