repair nomenclature mismatches (to curated term set) in a vector of terms

nomenCheckup(cand, namedOffic, n = 1, tagcolname = "tag", ...)

Arguments

cand: character vector of candidate terms
namedOffic: named character vector of curated terms, the names are regarded as tags, intended to be identifiers in curated ontologies
n: numeric(1) number of nearest neighbors to return
tagcolname: character(1) prefix used to name columns for tags in output
...: passed to adist

Value

a data.frame instance with 2n+1 columns (column 1 is candidate, remaining n pairs of columns are (term, tag) for n nearest neighbors as measured by adist.

Examples

candidates = c("JHH7", "HUT102", "HS739T", "NCIH716")
# the candidates are cell line names returned in the text dump from
# https://portals.broadinstitute.org/ccle/page?gene=AHR
# note that one must travel to the third nearest neighbor
# to find the match (and tag) for Hs 739.T
# in this example, we compare to cell line names in Cell Line Ontology
