effcalc: Analysis of the amplification efficiency

Description

effcalc calculates the amplification efficiency of a dilution.

Usage

# S4 method for numeric,numeric
effcalc(x, y, logx = TRUE, RSD = FALSE, rob = FALSE,
                                    level = 0.95)
# S4 method for matrix,missing
effcalc(x, y, logx = TRUE, RSD = FALSE, rob = FALSE,
                                   level = 0.95)
# S4 method for matrix,missing
effcalc(x, y, logx = TRUE, RSD = FALSE, rob = FALSE,
                                   level = 0.95)

Arguments

x

is the column of a data frame for the concentration (dilution).

y

are multiple columns of Cq values from a data.frame (e.g., [, c(1:n)]).

logx

is a logical parameter used to convert the concentration into a decadic logarithm.

RSD

Setting the option RSD = TRUE shows the relative standard deviation (RSD) in percent.

rob

Using the option rob as TRUE the median and the median absolute deviation (MAD) is plotted instead of the mean and standard deviation.

level

Tolerance/confidence level.

Value

an object of the class '>eff.
