init.read.exp {sma} | R Documentation

## Reads the Output of the Computed Statistics

### Description

Function displays the 30 measurements computed by the program Spot for each gene in the slide being considered.

### Usage

    init.read.exp(batch, imageid, sep="\t", header=TRUE, ...)

### Arguments

`batch` | batch name of the experiment
`imageid` | integer value; the index of the slide which is considered
`sep` | the field separator character; the columns of the file will be separated by this character.
`header` | a logical value indicating whether the file contains the names of the variables as its first line.
`...` | graphical parameters may also be supplied as arguments to the function (see `par`).

### Value

A matrix containing the 30 columns of computed measurements, corresponding to the rows of different genes in the specified slide.
Details regarding these measurements can be found at http://www.cmis.csiro.au/iap/Spot/spotoutput.htm.
