tempMLMOI: An R package for deriving multiplicity of infection (MOI) from molecular data.
Description
The tempMLMOI package provides three functions:
moimport;
moimle;
moimerge.
Details
The package reaches out to scientists that seek to
estimate MOI and frequencies at molecular markers using
the maximum-likelihood method described i n Schneider and
Escalante (2018) and Schneider (2018). Users can import
data from ‘.xlsx’ files in various formats, and
perform maximum-likelihood estimation on the imported data
by the package's mlmoi function.
Types of molecular data
Molecular data can be of types:
microsatellite repeats (STRs);
single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs);
-
amino acids;
codons (base triplets).
Import function
The function moimport, is
designed to import molecular data. It imports molecular
data in various formats and transforms them into a
standard format.
Merging Datasets
Two datasets in standard format
can be merged with the function moimerge.
Estimation MOI and frequencies
The function
moimle is designed to derive MLE from molecular
data in standard format.
