replaceVectorByEquality: REPLACE ITEMS OF VECTOR BY EQUALITY
In ddCt: The ddCt Algorithm for the Analysis of Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR)

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

The function replces (or updates) the items of a given vector by checking the equality with the target parameter. If found, the item will be replaced by the value parameter. The length of both target and value must be the same and could be longer than 1, in which case the replace will be iterated.

1	replaceVectorByEquality(vector, target, value)

`vector`	A vector to be replaced. The items of the vector must be atom types, since the equality is checked by '=='.
`target`	targets to be replaced, could be either single or a vector
`value`	values to be replaced at the positions of targets, must be of the same length of `target`

A warning will be prompted if any item in the target cannot be found

A vector of the same length as the parameter vector
