Compute per cell metrics (and per feature?)
Let's have a function that computes a metric or statistic for every cell across several batches. The function would be a generalization of computeMedianCVperCell()
.
Tentative signature: computePerCell(object, i, colDataName, FUN, ... )
, where colDataName
is the names of the column in the colData to store the metric, and FUN
is the function that computes the metric for one cell/sample/column, with its arguments passed through ...
.
I'm not convinced by the function name... The scuttle
package implements the perCellQCMetrics
method for SE and SCE objects, but the signature differs from what I want and does not allow for custom functions.
Also, we could have a similar function that computes metrics per feature. This would be a generalization of computeSCR
.
