Check the validity of a compData object containing differential expression results. An object that passes the check can be used as the input for the method comparison functions in compcodeR.

check_compData_results(object)

Arguments

object

A compData object

Examples

tmpdir <- normalizePath(tempdir(), winslash = "/")
mydata <- generateSyntheticData(dataset = "mydata", n.vars = 1000, 
                                samples.per.cond = 5, n.diffexp = 100,
                                output.file = file.path(tmpdir, "mydata.rds"))
## Check an object without differential expression results
