With this function, a specifically formatted xlsx file 
 can be loaded. After validation of the file, 
 'pmax' and other key values were examined for 
 the following analysis. The output is an ABT object. 
 An object of this class is a list with four contents named 
 <code>DATA</code>, <code>pmax</code>, <code>longestFromSecond</code> and 
 <code>shortestFromSecond</code>. <code>DATA</code> is a data.frame. 
 The other three are integer objects. 
 These values are used for the plotting functions 
 <a rd-options="" href="/link/plotAllABT?package=AntibodyTiters&version=0.1.24" data-mini-rdoc="AntibodyTiters::plotAllABT">plotAllABT</a> and <a rd-options="" href="/link/plotEachABT?package=AntibodyTiters&version=0.1.24" data-mini-rdoc="AntibodyTiters::plotEachABT">plotEachABT</a>.

Visualization of antibody titer scores is valuable for examination of vaccination
effects. 'AntibodyTiters' visualizes antibody titers of all or selected patients. This
package also produces empty excel files in a specified format, in which users can fill in
experimental data for visualization. Excel files with toy data can also be produced, so that
users can see how it is visualized before obtaining real data. The data should contain
titer scores at pre-vaccination, after-1st shot, after-2nd shot, and at least one
additional sampling points. Patients with missing values can be included. The first two
sampling points (pre-vaccination and after-1st shot) will be plotted discretely, whereas
those following will be plotted on a continuous time scale that starts from the day of
second shot. Half-life of titer can also be calculated for each pair of sampling points.
