discardStatVariables: Discard unwanted variables from your data

In theMILOlab/cypro: A Toolbox for Analysis of Single Cell Microscopy Data

Discard unwanted variables from your data

Description

This function discards unwanted variables from the cypro object and makes them unavailable for subsequent analysis steps. Might be useful for decreasing the overall object size.

Usage

discardStatVariables(object, stat_variables, verbose = NULL)

discardTrackVariables(object, track_variables, verbose = NULL)

keepStatVariables(object, stat_variables, verbose = NULL)

keepTrackVariables(object, track_variables, verbose = NULL)

Arguments

object	A valid cypro object.
stat_variables	Character vector. The variables from the cell statistics data you want to discard in case of discardStatVariables() or keep in case of keepStatVariables().
verbose	Logical. If set to TRUE informative messages regarding the computational progress will be printed. (Warning messages will always be printed.)
cluster_variables	Character vector. The cluster variables you want to discard.

Details

As clustering and dimensional reduction results base on stat variables or variable sets to be more precise all clustering results in slot @analysis that included variables denoted in argument stat_variables are discarded, too. This is because clustering results based on variable x, y and z might differ from results based on only variables x and y.

Defined variable sets including variables that are discarded are modified in a way that they only contain variables that remain in the cypro object.

Correlation results are not discarded but only filtered accordingly. This is because correlation results between variable x and variable y are not affected by discarding variable z.

Value

An updated version of the input cypro-object.
