audpc: Calculating the absolute or relative value of the AUDPC

In agricolae: Statistical Procedures for Agricultural Research

Calculating the absolute or relative value of the AUDPC

Description

Area Under Disease Progress Curve. The AUDPC measures the disease throughout a period. The AUDPC is the area that is determined by the sum of trapezes under the curve.

Usage

audpc(evaluation, dates, type = "absolute")

Arguments

evaluation	Table of data of the evaluations: Data frame
dates	Vector of dates corresponding to each evaluation
type	relative, absolute

Details

AUDPC. For the illustration one considers three evaluations (14, 21 and 28 days) and percentage of damage in the plant 40, 80 and 90 (interval between dates of evaluation 7 days). AUDPC = 1045. The evaluations can be at different interval.

Value

Vector with relative or absolute audpc.
