pcrfit {qpcR}R Documentation

Simple wrapper function for fast model fitting

Description

This is a wrapper function with easy syntax which simplifies the model fitting process by multdrc.

Usage

pcrfit(data, cyc = 1, fluo, fct = l5())

Arguments

data the name of the dataframe containing the variables.
cyc the column number with the cycle data. Defaults to 1.
fluo the column containing the raw fluorescence data.
fct the model to be used for the analysis, with the usual 'drc' package nomenclature. Defaults to 'l5'.

Examples

### simple l4() fit of F1.1 of the 'reps' dataset
m <- pcrfit(reps, 1, 2, l4())
pcrplot(m)

### same with five-parameter model
m2 <- pcrfit(reps, 1, 2)
pcrplot(m2, add = TRUE, col = 2)
