Create all combinations of cell type relationships from a list of parents

This function takes in named vectors of all the parent populations in the dataset, and creates a data frame containing all pairwise cell relationships, this data frame can be inputed into the `parentDf` argument in `Kontextual`.

Usage

parentCombinations(all, ...)

Arguments

all

A list of all the `to` cell types Kontextual is evaluated over

...

Vectors of each parent population

Value

A data frame containing all pairwise cell relationships and their corresponding parent

Examples

tcells <- c("CD4", "CD8")
tissue <- c("epithelial", "stromal")
allCells <- c("tumour", tissue, tcells)

parentCombinations(all = allCells, tcells, tissue)
