MC4_Methods {tcpl}

List of level 4 multiple-concentration methods for calculating bmad

Description

mc4_mthds returns a list of methods to be used during level 4 multiple-concentration processing for calculating bmad

Usage

mc4_mthds()

Details

The functions contained in the list returned by mc4_mthds take aeids (a numeric vector of aeid values) and returns a list of expressions to be executed in the mc4 (not exported) function environment. The functions are described here for reference purposes, The mc4_mthds function is not exported, nor is it intended for use.

All available methods are described in the Available Methods section, listed by the type of function and the function/method name.

Value

A list of functions

Available Methods

Although it does not say so specifically in each description, all methods are applied by aeid.

More information about the level 4 multiple-concentration processing is available in the package vignette, "Data_processing."

bmad.aeid.lowconc.twells

Calculate the baseline median absolute value (bmad) as the median absolute deviation of normalized response values (rep) for test compound wells (wllt = t) with concentration index (cndx) equal to 1 or 2.

bmad.aeid.lowconc.nwells

Calculate the baseline median absolute value (bmad) as the median absolute deviation of normalized response values (resp) for neutral control wells (wllt = n).

onesd.aeid.lowconc.twells

Calculate one standard deviation of the normalized response for test compound wells (wllt = t) with a concentration index (cndx) of 1 or 2; onesd=\sqrt{\sum{(resp-mean(resp))^{2}}/(n-1)}. Used to establish BMR and therefore required for tcplfit2 processing.

bidirectional.false

Limits bidirectional fitting and processes data in positive analysis direction only. Use for gain-of-signal or inverted data.

bmad5.onesd16.static

Replace baseline median absolute deviation (bmad) with 5 and one standard deviation (osd) of the normalized response for test compound wells (wllt = t) with a concentration index (cndx) of 1 or 2 with 16. Typically used for binary data where values would otherwise be 0; non-zero values are required for tcplfit2 processing.

This function is not exported and is not intended to be used by the user.
