prepareInitsLM {ELISAtools}

Prepare initial values for fitting shifts

Description

Generate the initial values for fitting shifts with a model of the 5-parameter logistic function.

Usage

prepareInitsLM(batches, ref.batch = 1)

Arguments

batches

list of elisa_batch data

ref.batch

numeric the index of the reference batch. It is 1 by default.

Details

This is a more complicated way to prepare the initials for shifting.

Value

a data list contain the following elements,

• inits, the initial values for the standard curves of all the plates
  

• ref.ibatch, the index of the reference batch
  This one is specified by the input ref.batch.

• ref.irun,the index of the reference run
  

• ref.index,the index of the reference line in the order of the inits vector
