usefun

A set of general functions that I have used in various projects and in other R packages. They support some miscellaneous operations on data frames, matrices and vectors: adding a row on a ternary (3-value) data.frame based on positive and negative vector-indicators, rearranging a list of data.frames by rownames, pruning rows or columns of a data.frame that contain only one specific value given by the user, checking for matrix equality, pruning and reordering a vector according to the common elements between its names and elements of another given vector, finding the non-common elements between two vectors (outer-section), normalization of a vector, matrix or data.frame's numeric values in a specified range, pretty printing of vector names and values in an R notebook (common names and values between two vectors also supported), retrieving the parent directory of any string path, checking whether a numeric value is inside a given interval, trim the decimal points of a given numeric value, quick saving of data to a file, making a multiple densities plot and a color bar plot and executing a plot string expression while generating the result to the specified file format.

Install

Examples

See examples in the functions documentation and in the respective tests. Also various functions from this package have been used in this biomarker analysis.
