readMIDAS {CellNOptR} | R Documentation

## Reads in a CSV MIDAS file

### Description

This function takes in a single argument, the name of a CSV MIDAS file containing the data, and returns a list that contains all the elements to build a CNOlist. The output of this function should be used as input for `makeCNOlist`.

### Usage

    readMIDAS(MIDASfile, verbose=TRUE)

### Arguments

`MIDASfile` | a CSV MIDAS file (see details)
`verbose` | logical (default to TRUE).

### Details

This function does not return a CNOlist, but the output of this function can be used directly into makeCNOlist to create one. The MIDAS file format is described in Saez-Rodriguez et al. (2008).

If you have all of the readouts measured at the same series of time points, you can specify a unique DA: column which must have the format "DA:ALL".

### Value

this function returns a list with fields:

`dataMatrix` | matrix containing the data in the MIDAS file
`TRcol` | indexes of the columns that contain the treatments (excluding cell line)
`DAcol` | indexes of the columns that contain the data time points
`DVcol` | indexes of the columns that contain the actual values (measurements)
