rnb.combine.arrays: Combine array-based datasets

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s)

View source: R/combining.R

Description

Concatenates two array-based datasets focusing on the common probes.

Usage

1
rnb.combine.arrays(dataset1, dataset2, type = "common")

Arguments

dataset1

First input dataset as an object of type inheriting RnBeadSet.

dataset2

Second input dataset as an object of type inheriting RnBeadSet.

type

Type of the combine operation as a character singleton, one of "common", "all.x", "all.y" and "all".

Details

Sample annotation tables

This method expects that the sample annotation tables of the two datasets have identical structures.

Genome assembly

This method expects that the two datasets target the same genome assembly.

Platform

The platform of the combined dataset is the most recent among the platforms of the input datasets.

Intensity values

The combined dataset is of type RnBeadRawSet only when both input datasets are of this type. Otherwise, any intensity value data is ignored.

Probes

Only the common probes are included in the resulting dataset.

Regions

Regions summarized in any of the input datasets are ignored. In the resulting dataset, regions are summarized as specified in the analysis option "region.types".

Quality control data

QC data in the input datasets is ignored. The combined dataset includes no data on QC probe intensities.

Infered covariates

Inferred covariates in the input datasets are ignored. The combined dataset includes no data on inferred covariates.

Disk dumping

The combined dataset stores big tables on disk when the analysis option "disk.dump.big.matrices" is enabled.

Value

Combined dataset as an object of type inheriting RnBeadSet.
