The method creates a data frame containing the comparisons to be made when performing differential statistics.
create_comparisonDF(comp_type, omicsData, control_group = NULL)string specifying either "control" or "pairwise". Specifying "control" indicates that all other groups are to be compared to a single control group. Specifying "pairwise" indicates that all pairwise comparisons are to be made.
A pmartR data object of any class, which has a `group_df` attribute created by the `group_designation()` function
string indicating the group to use for the control group. Only required when comp_type="control".
data frame with columns for Test and Control. Each row corresponds to a comparison of interest.
This function takes in the omicsData and type of comparison, and returns a data frame where each row corresponds to a comparison of interest.
