bind_dpcr-methods: Bind dpcr objects
In dpcR: Digital PCR Analysis

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

A convinient wrapper around cbind and rbind tailored specially for binding multiple objects containing results from digital PCR experiments.

1	bind_dpcr(input, ...)

`input`	an object of class `adpcr` or `dpcr` or a list.
`...`	objects of class `adpcr` or `dpcr`. See Details. If `input` is a list, ignored.

In case of adpcr or dpcr objects, bind_dpcr works analogously to cbind, but without recycling. In case on unequal length, shorter objects will be filled in with additional NA values. The original length is always preserved in n slot.

bind_dpcr automatically names binded experiments using format x.y, where x is number of object passed to function and y is a number of experiment in a given object.

An object of class adpcr or dpcr, depending on the input.

Because bind_dpcr calls do.call function, binding together at the same time more than 500 objects can lead to 'stack overflow' error.
