batchInfo {Xeva} | R Documentation

## Get batch information

### Description

Get batch information from a Xeva dataset.

### Usage

    batchInfo(object, batch = NULL, model.id = NULL,
      model.id.type = c("any", "control", "treatment"))

    ## S4 method for signature 'XevaSet'
    batchInfo(object, batch = NULL, model.id = NULL,
      model.id.type = c("any", "control", "treatment"))

### Arguments

`object` | The Xeva object from which batch information is obtained.
`batch` | Name of the batch. Default `NULL`.
`model.id` | Model ID for which need to be searched in the batches. Default `NULL`.
`model.id.type` | Type of the model ID in a batch. See the Details section below.

### Details

By default this function will return the names of all the batches present in the dataset. If a batch specified, it will return the experiment design (control and treatment model IDs) of that particular batch. If `model.id` is specified, it will return the names of all the batches where this particuler `model.id` is present. If both `batch` and `model.id` are specified, `batch` will take precedent.

For `model.id.type`, the default value `'any'` will return all the batch IDs where the given model ID is present in any arm (ie. control or treatment) of the batch. It can also be restricted to look only for treatment (or control) arm by specifying the type.

### Value

A `Vector` with batch names.

### Examples

    data(brca)
    ##to get all the batch names
    batch.name <- batchInfo(brca)

    ##to get a specific batch
    batch.design <- batchInfo(brca, batch=batch.name[1])

    ##to get all the batches where a model.id is present
    batchInfo(brca, model.id="X.6047.uned")
