Arguments

spe

A Spatial Experiment object

celltype

A string or a vector indicating the cell type information. If it is a string, it will retrive the information from colData.

marker_list

A list of marker, the name of the list corresponding to the cell type information provided in `celltype`.

marker_list_name

A string specifying the name to be used to store the result.

exprs_values

A string indicating which assay of `spe` contains the expression values.

use_BPPARAM

A BiocParallelParam instance determining the parallel back-end to be used during evaluation.

Value

A SpatialExperiment object
