In wrMisc: Analyze Experimental High-Throughput (Omics) Data

Sort matrix by two categorical and one integer columns

Description

This function sorts matrix 'mat' subsequently by categorical and numerical columns of 'mat', ie lines with identical values for categor are sorted by numeric value.

Usage

sortBy2CategorAnd1IntCol(
  mat,
  categCol,
  numCol,
  findNeighb = TRUE,
  decreasing = FALSE,
  silent = FALSE,
  debug = FALSE,
  callFrom = NULL
)

Arguments

mat	matrix (or data.frame) from which by 2 columns will be selected for sorting
categCol	(integer or character) which columns of 'mat' to be used as categorical columns
numCol	(integer or character) which column of 'mat' to be used as integer columns
findNeighb	(logical) if 'findNeighb' neighbour cols according to 'numCol' will be identified as groups & marked in new col 'neiGr', orphans marked as NA
decreasing	(logical) order of sort
silent	(logical) suppress messages
debug	(logical) additional messages for debugging
callFrom	(character) allow easier tracking of messages produced

Value

This function returns a sorted matrix (same dimensions as 'mat')

Examples

mat <- cbind(aa=letters[c(3,rep(7:8,3:4),4,4:6,7)],bb=LETTERS[rep(1:5,c(1,3,4,4,1))],
  nu=c(23:21,23,21,22,18:12))
mat[c(3:5,1:2,6:9,13:10),]
sortBy2CategorAnd1IntCol(mat,cate=c("bb","aa"),num="nu",findN=FALSE,decr=TRUE)
sortBy2CategorAnd1IntCol(mat,cate=c("bb","aa"),num="nu",findN=TRUE,decr=FALSE)
