DRomics (version 2.6-2)

formatdata4DRomics: Build an R object that can be used as data input in DRomics

Description

Build an R object that can be used as data input in data importation function from two inputs: the nitems x nsamples matrix coding for the signal and the nsamples vector of doses

Usage

formatdata4DRomics(signalmatrix, dose, samplenames)

Value

an R object that corresponds to a dataframe that can be passed as input in the first argument of the data importation functions RNAseqdata,

microarraydata, continuousomicdata or

continuousanchoringdata.

Arguments

signalmatrix

the matrix of the data with one row for each item and one column for each sample. The row names of this matrix will be taken to identify the items. Depending of the type of measured signal, look at the help of the corresponding importation function especially to check that you use the good scale of data RNAseqdata, microarraydata, continuousomicdata and continuousanchoringdata.

dose

a numeric vector giving the dose for each sample.

samplenames

a character vector giving the names of the samples (optional argument - if not given, the col names of signalmatrix are taken as sample names).
