The goal of the batchtma is to provide functions for batch effect-adjusting biomarker data. It implements different methods that address batch effects while retaining differences between batches that may be due to <U+201C>true<U+201D> underlying differences in factors that drive biomarker values (confounders).
adjust_batch
: Adjust for batch effects
diagnose_models
: Model diagnostics after batch adjustment
plot_batch
: Plot biomarkers by batch
