mergeDataSets: Merge Multiple Data Sets

In HMPTrees: Statistical Object Oriented Data Analysis of RDP-Based Taxonomic Trees from Human Microbiome Data

Description

This function can take any number of data sets, calculate their individual and combined MLEs and then merge them.

Usage

mergeDataSets(dataList, calcMLE = FALSE, uniqueNames = FALSE, data = NULL)

Arguments

dataList	A list of data frames in which each column contains the rdp read counts for every taxa given in the row names.
calcMLE	If 'FALSE' the MLEs for the data sets will not be calculated, otherwise they are added to the end.
uniqueNames	If 'TRUE' the column names in the combined data set will be appended to insure uniqueness, otherwise the column names will follow the naming process from the merge function.
data	Deprecated. Replaced with dataList.

Details

Although not required, all data sets should be standardized to the same number of reads before merging.

Value

A single data set containing all the data from the input data sets, in addition to their individual MLEs and a combined MLE if requested.
