getSamples {metabCombiner} | R Documentation

## Get Sample Names From metabCombiner or metabData Object

### Description

Returns the sample names from one of the two datasets used in metabCombiner analysis, denoted as 'x' or 'y.'

### Usage

    getSamples(object, data = NULL)

    ## S4 method for signature 'metabCombiner'
    getSamples(object, data = NULL)

    ## S4 method for signature 'metabData'
    getSamples(object)

### Arguments

`object` | `metabCombiner` or `metabData` object
`data` | dataset identifier for `metabCombiner` objects

### Value

character vector of sample names. For `metabCombiner` objects these may come from the 'x' dataset (if `data` = "x") or the 'y' dataset (if `data` = "y").

### Examples

    data(plasma30)
    data(plasma20)

    p30 <- metabData(plasma30, samples = "CHEAR")
    p20 <- metabData(plasma20, samples = "Red", rtmax = 17.25)

    p.comb <- metabCombiner(xdata = p30, ydata = p20)

    getSamples(p30)
    getSamples(p.comb, data = "x")  #equivalent to previous
    getSamples(p20)
    getSamples(p.comb, data = "y")  #equivalent to previous
