cal_knee_point: Calculate the knee point on the exponential-like curve

In Rcurvep: Concentration-Response Data Analysis using Curvep

Calculate the knee point on the exponential-like curve

Description

Currently two methods have been implemented to get the "keen-point" from the variance(y) - threshold(x) curve. One is to use the original y values to draw a straight line between the lowest x value (p1) to highest x value (p2). The knee-point is the x that has the longest distance to the line. The other one is to fit the data first then use the fitted responses to do the same analysis. Currently the first method is preferred.

Usage

cal_knee_point(d, xaxis, yaxis, p1 = NULL, p2 = NULL, plot = TRUE)

Arguments

d	A tibble.
xaxis	The column name in the d to be the x-axis in the exponential-like curve
yaxis	The column name in the d to be the y-axis in the exponential-like curve
p1	Default = NULL, or an integer value to manually set the first index of line.
p2	Default = NULL, or an integer value to manually set the last index of line.
plot	Default = TRUE, plot the diagnostic plot.

Value

A list with two components: stats and outcome.

• stats: a tibble, including pooled variance (pvar), fitted responses (y_exp_fit, y_lm_fit), distance to the line (dist2l)

• outcome: a tibble, including estimated BMRs (bmr)

; Suffix in the stats and outcome tibble: "ori" (original values), "exp"(exponential fit). prefix in the outcome tibble, "cor" (correlation between the fitted responses and the original responses), "bmr" (benchmark response), "qc" (quality control).

)

out <- cal_knee_point(inp,"x", "y", plot = FALSE)
