get_Parameters: Parameter Table Importer

In ssmpsn2/flowAssist: User friendly manipulation and analysis of flow cytometry data

Description

Function for reading in a tab-delimited file from the working directory containing labels for fluorophores and markers used in a flow experiment. The table is used by the flow_MarkerApply() function to apply more descriptive and informative labels to flow data frames. Optionally allows for description of upper and lower parameter bounds for removing unwanted data from flow frames using the flow_Prune() function. Table should have a header with the following labels: Column 1) "Fluorophore" Column 2) "Marker" Optional Column 3) "UpperBound" Optional Column 4) "LowerBound" Fill empty cells (e.g., marker value for FSC, or no argument for upper/lower bound) with "NA". The parameter labels themselves require no specific order/punctuation/casing for fluorophores or markers, but the fluorophore names should match those applied to the FCS files being worked with. Entering an Upper and LowerBound value of "0" for a parameter indicates that that parameter should be dropped when the flow_Prune() function is called.

Usage

get_Parameters(parameterTableFileName)
