relevelsByNotNamedVec: Relevel a factor by a unnamed vector.

In ribiosUtils: Utilities from and Interface to the Bioinfo-C (BIOS) Library

Description

If names contain character strings other than the levels in the old factor and warning is set to TRUE, a warning will be raised

Usage

relevelsByNotNamedVec(
  x,
  refs,
  missingLevels = c("pass", "warning", "error"),
  unrecognisedLevels = c("warning", "pass", "error")
)

Arguments

x	A factor
refs	A unnamed vector. The values of the vector are levels of x.
missingLevels	Actions taken in case existing levels are missing: 'pass', 'warning', or 'error'.
unrecognisedLevels	Actions taken in case unrecognised levels are found: 'pass', 'warning', or 'error'.

Value

A vector of factor

Examples

oldFactor <- factor(c("A", "B", "A", "C", "B"), levels=LETTERS[1:3])
refLevels <- c("B", "C", "A")
newFactor <- relevelsByNotNamedVec(oldFactor, refLevels)
stopifnot(identical(newFactor, factor(c("A", "B", "A", "C", "B"), levels=c("B", "C", "A"))))
