My spillover matrix fails to generate. Details of problem below. Any help in that regard will be gladly appreciated. Thanks

myflowset3 = read.flowSet(files=list.files(path=".",pattern="fcs", full.names=TRUE))

summary(myflowset3)

spx=spillover(myflowset3 , unstained = "Sample 2_Unstained.fcs", patt = NULL, fsc = "FSC-A",  ssc = "SSC-A", method = "median", stain_match = c("intensity", "ordered", "regexpr"), useNormFilt=FALSE, pregate = FALSE, plot = FALSE)

Error: Unable to match stains with controls based on intensity: a single stain matches to several multiple controls. 

 

I have the following experimental files in my flowSet named "myflowset3"

  1. Compensation Controls_APC-H7 Stained Control_018.fcs
  2. Compensation Controls_APC Stained Control_017.fcs           
  3. Compensation Controls_Aqua Amine Stained Control_020.fcs
  4. Compensation Controls_BV421 Stained Control_019.fcs

The flowset should consists in the compensation controls plus one unstained sample. Moreover you should set only one value for the stain_match option. I would recommend "ordered" and organize the controls in the order of the channels in the flowset you give to the spillover function. Doing so you are sure of the matching.

For more information look at the code
