correctByConicalPlane: Correct invasion data by conical plane

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s)

Description

Correct z-component of a 3D collagen invasion essay. The correction is achieved under the assumption that non-migrating cells of the essay approximately form a quadratic flow profile due to frictional effects, compare law of Hagen-Poiseuille for flow in a tube.

Usage

2
correctByConicalPlane(filename, nrfits = 1000, threshold = -30,
  plot = FALSE, write_csv = TRUE)

Arguments

filename

Name of data file in csv format. It should contain columns "Pos_X", "Pos_Y" and "Pos_Z".

nrfits

Numeric, Number of randomly chosen starting points for the optimization. Choose lower values for speeding up computational time. Choose higher values for more reliable optimization results.

threshold

Numeric, A threshold for counting cells as being invaded or not. When cells move towards negative z-direction, threshold should be negative.

plot

Boole, if TRUE exemplary 3D plots before and after the correction are plotted

write_csv,

if TRUE resulting corrected values are saved as a csv file

Value

Data.frame containing input positions, corrected z-positions as well as number and percentage of invaded cells.
