buildCellHTS2 {cellHTS2} | R Documentation

## Build a cellHTS2 object from a data frame containing measurements

### Description

Builds a cellHTS2 object from a data frame.

### Usage

    buildCellHTS2(xd, measurementNames)

### Arguments

`xd` | a data frame containing the columns `plate`, `replicate` and `well`, and the measurement columns. The `plate` and `replicate` columns must contain integer values, starting from 1. The `well` column must contain well names formed by one to two capitals letter followed by two digits, e.g. `A12` or `AB01`. Letter ordering is as follows: A, B, C,..., Z, AA, AB, AC,..., AZ, BA, BB, ..., ZZ.
`measurementNames` | an optional character vector containing the measurement names. If missing, the names of the measurement columns in `xd` are used. If `NULL`, the measurements are not named.

### Details

The function uses `readPlateList` to build a `cellHTS2` object.

### Value

An object of class `cellHTS`, which extends the class `NChannelSet`.

### Examples

    wells = sprintf("%s%02d", rep(LETTERS[1:8], each=12), 1:12)
    xd = expand.grid(plate=1:3, replicate=1:2, well=wells)
    xd$cell.number = rnorm(nrow(xd))
    xd$cell.size = rnorm(nrow(xd))
    x = buildCellHTS2(xd)
