select_compass_pops: Flag COMPASS boolean populations
In RGLab/COMPASS: Combinatorial Polyfunctionality Analysis of Single Cells

Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also Examples

Returns a boolean vector indexing cell populations in cellpops that match the pattern for boolean combinations of markers.

1	select_compass_pops(cellpops, markers)

`cellpops`	`vector` of character names of cell populations.
`markers`	`vector` of character names of markers in the order they appear in the population names.

If markers A, B, C, D make up the population names in cellpops and they the names match the pattern e.g. "A+B-C+D+,Count" (typical of exports from some gating tools), then markers should be a vector of markers in the same order they appear in cellpops.

A boolean vector indexing cellpops with TRUE for populations matchin the pattern.
