expcomp {qpcR}R Documentation

Comparison of several sigmodal models by RMSE within the exponential region

Description

The exponential region of the qPCR data is identified by the studentized outlier method, as in expfit. The root-mean-squared-errors of 14 different sigmoidal models within this region are then calculated. The result of the fits are plotted and the models are returned in order of ascending RMSE.

Usage

  expcomp(object, ...)

Arguments

object a 'drc' object.
... other parameters to be passed to expfit.

Details

The following sigmoidal models are fitted: b3(), b4(), b5(), l3(), l4(), l5(), LL2.3(), LL2.4(), LL2.5(), baro5(), w3(), w4(), W2.3(), W2.4()

Value

A dataframe with names of the models and the respective RMSEs.
