load.counts — load.counts • DEprot

Function used to generate a DEprot object starting from counts and metadata.

load.counts(
  counts,
  metadata,
  log.base = NA,
  imputation = NA,
  normalization.method = NA,
  column.id = "column.id"
)

Arguments

counts: A data.frame or a matrix in which the rownames are the proteins and the columns the samples.
metadata: A data.frame containing at least one column called column.id which corresponds to the colnames of counts. Any other column can be added and will correspond to a "feature"of each sample.
