ftIDs: Unique feature IDs

In EvansLaboratory/OBIF: Omics-Based Interaction Framework

Unique feature IDs

Description

The ftIDs function is a function to validate the use of unique identifiers for each features in your original dataset. To test if a desired column "colnum" in your dataset is comprised of unique identifiers, use "method = 0". If the result is exactly 1, then you can use that column as your feature IDs for analysis. Proceed to create your feature IDs list with "method = 1". If the result is not exactly < 1, then switch to "method = 2" to create a generic unique feature ID. Your original feature names are saved as part of your metadata regardless of the method.

Usage

ftIDs(Data, colnum, method)

Arguments

Data	A dataframe of your original feature expression values where row are features and columns are samples. Metada is supported per feature in additional columns.
colnum	A numeric value with the number of the column that you want to check/use to esablish your unique feature IDs.
method	A numeric value specifying the unique feature IDs method to use. Use "method = 0" to verify if your "colnum" feature name column is valid. If so, re-run using "method = 1". If not use "method = 2".

Value

A character vector with the same new unique feature IDs when using method 1 or 2. A single numeric value between 0 to 1 to evaluate your feature names when using method 0
