Match Sample Names to Recognized Standards

Source: R/standards-helpers.R
match_standards.Rd

Attempts to match sample names to recognized calibration standards using pattern matching on normalized names.

Usage

match_standards(sample_names, standards = NULL, return_all = FALSE)

Arguments

sample_names

Character vector of sample names to match.

standards

Optional named list of standards with regex patterns. If NULL (default), uses get_recognized_standards().

return_all

Logical. If TRUE, returns all matches including non-matches as NA. If FALSE (default), returns only matched entries.

Value

A tibble with columns:

  • sample_name: Original sample name

  • normalized_name: Cleaned/normalized name

  • matched_standard: Canonical standard name (or NA if no match)

  • standard_type: Type of standard (PS, PMMA, etc.)

See also

Other standards: auto_detect_standards(), get_recognized_standards(), get_standard_names(), get_standard_type(), is_standard(), normalize_standard_name()

Examples

match_standards(samples)
