convert.snpMatrix {snpStats} | R Documentation

## Convert `snpMatrix` objects to `snpStats` objects

### Description

These functions convert `snpMatrix` objects to `snpStats` objects. `convert.snpMatrix` converts a single object, while `convert.snpMatrix.dir` converts all stored elements in a specified directory. They really only change the class names since most of the classes in `snpStats` are backwards-compatible with `snpMatrix`. The exception is the `ImputationRules` class; `imputation.rules` objects will need to be regenerated.

### Usage

    convert.snpMatrix(object)

    convert.snpMatrix.dir(dir = ".", ext = "RData")

### Arguments

`object` | Object to be converted
`dir` | A directory containing saved `snpMatrix` objects
`ext` | The file extension for files containing such objects

### Value

`convert.snpMatrix` returns the converted object. `convert.snpMatrix.dir` rewrites the files in place.
