validateLoadConvergenceData {methylInheritance} | R Documentation

## Validation of some parameters of the `loadConvergenceData` function

### Description

Validation of some parameters needed by the public `loadConvergenceData` function.

### Usage

    validateLoadConvergenceData(analysisResultsDir, permutationResultsDir,
      position, by)

### Arguments

`analysisResultsDir` | a `character` string, the path to the directory that contains the analysis results. The path can be the same as for the `permutatioNResultsDir` parameter.
`permutationResultsDir` | a `character` string, the path to the directory that contains the permutation results. The path can be the same as for the `analysisResultsDir` parameter.
`position` | a positive `integer`, the position in the `list` where the information will be extracted.
`by` | a `integer`, the increment of the number of permutations where the significant level is tested. Default: 100.

### Value

`0` indicating that all parameters validations have been successful.

### Author(s)

Astrid Deschenes, Pascal Belleau

### Examples

    ## Get the name of the directory where files are stored
    filesDir <- system.file("extdata", "TEST", package="methylInheritance")

    ## Merge permutation and observation results
    methylInheritance:::validateLoadConvergenceData(analysisResultsDir =
        filesDir, permutationResults = filesDir, position = 1, by = 1)

    ## The function raises an error when at least one paramater is not valid
    ## Not run: methylInheritance:::validateLoadConvergenceData(
        analysisResultsDir = filesDir, permutationResults = filesDir,
        position = "hello", by = 1))
    ## End(Not run)
