select_compass_pops: Flag COMPASS boolean populations

In COMPASS: Combinatorial Polyfunctionality Analysis of Single Cells

Description

Returns a boolean vector indexing cell populations in cellpops that match the pattern for boolean combinations of markers.

Usage

select_compass_pops(cellpops, markers)

Arguments

cellpops	vector of character names of cell populations.
markers	vector of character names of markers in the order they appear in the population names.

Details

If markers A, B, C, D make up the population names in cellpops and they the names match the pattern e.g. "A+B-C+D+,Count" (typical of exports from some gating tools), then markers should be a vector of markers in the same order they appear in cellpops.

Value

A boolean vector indexing cellpops with TRUE for populations matchin the pattern.

Examples

#Generate some population names
markers = LETTERS[1:4]
pos = c("+","-")
popnames = apply(expand.grid(pos,pos,pos,pos),1,
            function(x)paste(paste(paste(markers,x,sep=""),
            collapse=""),",Count",sep=""))
popnames = sample(c(popnames,paste(paste(markers,sample(c("+","-"),
             length(markers),replace=TRUE),sep=""),",Count",sep="")))
popnames[select_compass_pops(popnames,LETTERS[1:4])]
