expcomp {qpcR}

Comparison of all sigmodal models 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-error (RMSE) of all available sigmoidal models within this region is then calculated. The result of the fits are plotted and models returned in order of ascending RMSE.

Usage

expcomp(object, ...)

Arguments

object

an object of class 'pcrfit'.

...

other parameters to be passed to expfit.

Details

The following sigmoidal models are fitted: b4, b5, b6, b7, l4, l5, l6, l7

Value

A dataframe with names of the models, in ascending order of RMSE.
