property DESeqDataSet.dispersionFunction

dispersion function

The dispersion function is calculated by DESeqDataSet.estimateDispersions() and used by varianceStabilizingTransformation(). Parametric dispersion fits store the coefficients of the fit as attributes in this property.

This property cannot be set directly, only through DESeqDataSet.setDispFunction(). Setting it will also overwrite self.var["dispFit"] and the estimate of the variance of dispersion residuals.
