calculate_death_rate: calculate_death_rate

In Michorlab/ACESO: A Cancer Evolution Simulation Optimizer

Description

Function to calculate the death rate from the apoptosis assay data.

Usage

calculate_death_rate(cell_death_data, net_growth_data = NULL,
  d_start = 0.005, Apoptotic.fraction = F,
  column.name = "Apoptotic.cells", ...)

Arguments

cell_death_data	name of the dataframe where the apoptosis assay data is saved.
net_growth_data	name of the dataframe where the growth kinetics data is saved.
d_start	initial parameter value for the death rate to be used in the least squared estimation process.
Apoptotic.fraction	if TRUE, the fraction of death cells is used for the calculation of the death rate. If FALSE (default), the total number of death cells is used.
column.name	string value to specify the column name where the total number or the fraction of death cells numbers are saved.
...	Additional arguments for nls function

Value

A dataframe where the death rate for each cell type is included as a column to the information used as input.
