guessPanel {CATALYST} | R Documentation

## Guess parameter panel

### Description

Helper function to parse information from the `parameters` slot of a `flowFrame`/`flowSet`.

### Usage

    guessPanel(x, sep = "_")

### Arguments

`x` | a `flowFrame`.
`sep` | character string specifying how channel descriptions should be parsed. E.g., if `pData(x)$desc` contains both channel and antigens formatted as, `155Gd_CD73`, descriptions will be split according to `sep` and everything after the first `sep` will be used as the antigen name (here, CD73).

### Value

a `data.frame` with the following columns:

- `name`: the parameter name as extracted from the input `flowFrame`,

- `desc`: the parameter description as extracted from the input `flowFrame`,

- `antigen`: the targeted protein markers, and

- `use_channel`: logical. If TRUE, the channel is expected to contain a marker and will be kept.
