'IBRtools': Integrating Biomarker-Based Assessments and Radarchart Creation
Description
Several functions to calculate two important indexes (IBR (Integrated Biomarker Response) and IBRv2 (Integrated Biological Response version 2)), it also calculates the standardized values for enzyme activity for each index, and it has a graphing function to perform radarplots that make great data visualization for this type of data.
Details
It comes with 3 example datasets: enzact, enzact_coef and enzact2
You can use them to practice or to see how the functions work so you can apply in your own datasets!
To load them, just use the command: data(nameofdataset)
IBRtools functions
There are 6 functions in this package, 3 for each index.
IBR: ibr_index, ibr_std, ibr_chart
IBRv2: ibrv2_index, ibrv2_bdi, ibrv2_chart
