Read Period Data from EventMeasure files (_Period.txt)

This function reads EventMeasure period data files (_Period.txt) from a specified directory and processes them into a single dataframe. The dataframe contains period annotations, including columns for the campaignID, sample, and other relevant information.

Usage

read_periods(dir, method = "BRUVs", recursive = FALSE)

Arguments

dir

The directory where the .txt files are saved.

method

A character string indicating the method used ("BRUVs" or "DOVs"). Default is "BRUVs".

recursive

Logical, whether to search for files recursively in subdirectories. Default is FALSE.

Value

A data frame containing all period annotations from the specified files, with standardised columns for campaign ID, sample, opcode, period, start time, end time, and whether there is an end time.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# To read period data from a directory using the BRUVs method
periods_data <- read_periods("path/to/directory")

# To read period data from a directory recursively using the DOVs method
periods_data <- read_periods("path/to/directory", method = "DOVs", recursive = TRUE)
} # }
