read.label {SIAMCAT}R Documentation

Read label file

Description

This file reads in the tsv file with labels and converts it into a label object.

First row is expected to be #BINARY:1=[label for cases]; -1=[label for controls]. Second row should contain the sample identifiers as tab-separated list (consistent with feature and metadata).

Third row is expected to contain the actual class labels (tab-separated): 1 for each case and -1 for each control.

Note: Labels can take other numeric values (but not characters or strings); importantly, the label for cases has to be greater than the one for controls

Usage

fn.in.label
