Internal Helper Functions for Validation of AnyHermesData Objects

Source: R/HermesData-validate.R

These functions are used internally only and therefore not exported. They work on SummarizedExperiment::SummarizedExperiment objects, and AnyHermesData objects are defined by successfully passing these validation checks.

validate_counts(object)

validate_cols(required, actual)

validate_row_data(object)

validate_col_data(object)

validate_names(object)

validate_prefix(object)

Arguments

object

(SummarizedExperiment)
object to validate.

required

(character)
required column names.

actual

(actual)
actual column names.

Value

A character vector with the validation failure messages, or NULL in case validation passes.

Functions

  • validate_counts: validates that the first assay is counts containing non-missing, integer, non-negative values.

  • validate_cols: validates that required column names are contained in actual column names.

  • validate_row_data: validates that the object contains rowData with required columns.

  • validate_col_data: validates that the object contains colData with required columns.

  • validate_names: validates that the object contains row and column names.

  • validate_prefix: validates that the object prefix is a string and only contains alphabetic characters.
