This method retrieves information about the samples whose cells were used as leaves of the samples forest.

Value

A dataframe containing, for each sample collected during the simulation, the columns "name", "time", "id", "ymin", "xmin", "ymax", "ymax", "xmax", "tumour_cells", "tumour_cells_in_bbox", "DNA_quantity", and "equivalent_normal_cells". The columns "ymin", "xmin", "ymax", and "xmax" report the boundaries of the sample bounding box, while "tumour_cells" and "tumour_cells_in_bbox" are the number of tumour cells in the sample and in the bounding box, respectively. Finally, "DNA_quantity" contains the overall number of tumoral bases, i.e., the sum of the lengths of all the alleles of all the sample tumoral cells, and "equivalent_normal_cells" contains the number of normal cells that contain as much DNA as the sample tumoral cells. The "DNA_quantity" is stored as a real number despite being a natural number as it usually exceeds the largest natural number that can be natively represented by R.
