write.csv {AlphaPart}

R Documentation

write.csv.R

Description

Save summaries of partitioned breeding values to CSV files on disk for further analyses of processing with other software or just for saving (backing up) results.

Usage

write.csv(...)

## Default S3 method:
write.csv(...)

## S3 method for class 'AlphaPart'
write.csv(x, file, traitsAsDir = FALSE, csv2 = TRUE, row.names = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'summaryAlphaPart'
write.csv(x, file, traitsAsDir = FALSE, csv2 = TRUE, row.names = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

...	Other options passed to write.csv2 or write.csv.
x	AlphaPart, object returned from AlphaPart function or summaryAlphaPart, object returned from summary.AlphaPart function.
file	Character, file name with or without .csv extension, e.g., both "file" and "file.csv" are valid.
traitsAsDir	Logical, should results be saved within trait folders; the construction is file.path(dirname(file), trait, basename(file)); folders are created if they do not exist.
csv2	Logical, export using write.csv2 or write.csv.
row.names	Logical, export row names as well?

Details

Function write.csv from the utils package works when exported object is a data.frame or a matrix. This is an attempt to make this function generic so that one can define write.csv methods for other objects.

Value

It contains:

• write.csv - see write.csv for details.

• write.csv.AlphaPart - for each trait (list component in x) a file is saved on disk with name "AlphaPart_trait.csv", where the file will hold original data and breeding value partitions. With traitsAsDir=TRUE files are saved as "trait/file_trait.csv". File names are printed on screen during the process of export and at the end invisibly returned.

• write.csv.summaryAlphaPart - for each trait (list component in x) a file partitions named "file_trait.csv" is saved on disk. With traitsAsDir=TRUE files are saved as "trait/file_trait_*.csv". File names are printed on screen during the process of export and at the end invisibly returned.

Methods (by class)

• default: Default write.csv method.

• AlphaPart: Save partitioned breeding values to CSV files on disk on disk for further analyses or processing with other software or just for saving (backing up) results.

• summaryAlphaPart: Save summaries of partitioned breeding values to CSV files on disk for further analyses of processing with other software or just for saving (backing up) results.

Examples

## Partition additive genetic values
res <- AlphaPart(x=AlphaPart.ped, colPath="country", colBV=c("bv1", "bv2"))

## Write summary on the disk and collect saved file names
fileName <- file.path(tempdir(), "AlphaPart")
ret <- write.csv(x=res, file=fileName)
print(ret)
file.show(ret[1])

## Clean up
files <- dir(path=tempdir(), pattern="AlphaPart*")
unlink(x=files)
