Check the inputs

Your task

Validate your inputs before analysis.

Rscript scripts/R/01-check-inputs.R

Expected output: results/tables/input-checks.tsv with 24 samples, 15 features, two groups, and PASS.

Checks cover required columns, unique identifiers, exact matches, valid counts, groups, and positive totals. Failures stop the analysis.

Use your own data

Rscript scripts/R/01-check-inputs.R data/my-study results/my-study

Note

A PASS confirms table structure, not scientific readiness. Review contamination, controls, pairing, batch, sampling effort, and study design separately.

Check before continuing

Resolve errors and record corrections in your decision log. Ask AI to explain an error, then verify its suggestion before editing data.
