CellNOptR (version 1.18.0)

readMIDAS: Reads in a CSV MIDAS file

Description

This function takes in a single argument, the name of a CSV MIDAS file containing the data, and returns a list that contains all the elements to build a CNOlist. The output of this function should be used as input for makeCNOlist.

Usage

readMIDAS(MIDASfile, verbose=TRUE)

Arguments

MIDASfile

a CSV MIDAS file (see details)

verbose

logical (default to TRUE).

Value

this function returns a list with fields:

dataMatrix

matrix containing the data in the MIDAS file

TRcol

indexes of the columns that contain the treatments (excluding cell line)

DAcol

indexes of the columns that contain the data time points

DVcol

indexes of the columns that contain the actual values (measurements)

Details

This function does not return a CNOlist, but the output of this function can be used directly into makeCNOlist to create one. The MIDAS file format is described in Saez-Rodriguez et al. (2008).

If you have all of the readouts measured at the same series of time points, you can specify a unique DA: column which must have the format "DA:ALL".
