searchCluster.batch: Search for clusters using pre-defined labels in cytometry...

In MetaCyto: MetaCyto: A package for meta-analysis of cytometry data

Description

A function that searches for clusters using pre-defined labels in cytometry data from different studies in batch.

Usage

searchCluster.batch(preprocessOutputFolder, outpath = "search_output",
  clusterLabel, ifPlot = TRUE)

Arguments

preprocessOutputFolder	Directory where the pre-processed results are stored.
outpath	A string indicating the directory the results should be written to.
clusterLabel	A vector containing labels, such as c("CD3+|CD4+|CD8-")
ifPlot	True or False. Used to specify if a the density plot for each cluster should be plotted

Details

The function writes out the summary statistics for each cluster. A separate directory will be created for each study.

Value

Results will be written to the outpath folder

Examples

#get meta-data
fn=system.file("extdata","fcs_info.csv",package="MetaCyto")
fcs_info=read.csv(fn,stringsAsFactors=FALSE,check.names=FALSE)

                               package="MetaCyto")
# Make sure the transformation parameter "b" and the "assay" argument
# are correct of FCM and CyTOF files
b=assay=rep(NA,nrow(fcs_info))
b[grepl("CyTOF",fcs_info$study_id)]=1/8
