isInterGenerationResults {methylInheritance} | R Documentation

## Verify if a specific file containing intergenerational results exists or not.

### Description

Verify if a specific file containing intergenerational results exists or not.

### Usage

    isInterGenerationResults(outputDir, permutationID, type = c("sites",
      "tiles"))

### Arguments

`outputDir` | a string of `character`, the name of the directory that will contain the results of the permutation. The name should end with a slash. The directory should already exists.
`permutationID` | an `integer`, the identifiant of the permutation. When the `permutationID` = `0`, the results are considered as the observed results and are saved in a file with the "_observed_results.RDS" extension. When the `permutationID` != `0`, the results are considered as permutation results and are saved in a file with the "_permutation_permutationID.RDS" extension.
`type` | One of the `"sites"` or `"tiles"` strings. Specifies the type of differentially methylated elements should be saved. Default: `"sites"`.

### Value

`TRUE` when file present; otherwise `FALSE`.

### Examples

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

    ## Verify that DMS intergenerational results for the observed data exists
    methylInheritance:::isInterGenerationResults(outputDir =
        paste0(filesDir, "/"), 0, "sites")
