Initialize the EWAS module

This function generates an R6 class for storing EWAS analysis data and results. By default, results are kept in memory and no files are written. If file export is requested, users must supply an explicit output directory.

Usage

initEWAS(outpath = NULL, export = FALSE)

Arguments

• outpath:

  Optional path to an existing directory. When export = TRUE, a subdirectory named "EWASresult" is created under outpath for exported result files.

• export:

  Logical. If TRUE, create an output folder and export result files. If FALSE (default), do not write files to disk; keep results in the returned object.

Value

input, an R6 class object integrating all information.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
res <- initEWAS(export = FALSE)
} # }
