summarizeReps: Generate a new dataset with summarized replicates

Description

Generates a new dataset with summarized replicates.

Usage

summarizeReps(data, funSum, col4val, col4anno, cols2del)

Arguments

data

an R data frame generated with generateDatasetFile

funSum

a function used to summarize the values of a replicate, e.g. mean, median, rms, trim, max, min, closestToZero, furthestFromZero, ...

col4val

a character vector (containing for example "SigIntensity", Background, NbCells, PercCells, ...) specifying the columns that will be summarized by funSum

col4anno

a character string specifying the name of the dataset column to be used to define the replicate, e.g. "GeneName" or "Internal_GeneID"

cols2del

a character vector containing the columns to delete, for example "SDSIntensity"

Value

Returns the summarized dataset.

Details

All columns containing replicate values will be summarized by funSum. For all columns containing positions, screen numbers, plate numbers, etc., all information for different replicates will be kept, comma-separated. All columns containing standard deviations of channels should be specified in colnames2delete.
