listToMap {MultiAssayExperiment}R Documentation

Convert map from data.frame or DataFrame to list and vice versa

Description

The mapToList function provides a convenient way of reordering a data.frame to a list. The listToMap function does the opposite by taking a list and converting it to DataFrame.

Usage

listToMap(listmap)

mapToList(dfmap, assayCol = "assay")

Arguments

listmap

A named list object containing DataFrames with "primary" and "colname" columns

dfmap

A data.frame or DataFrame object with identifiers in the first column

assayCol

A character vector of length one indicating the assay names column

Value

A DataFrame class object of names

A list object of DataFrames for each assay

Functions

Examples
