z_factor: Calculates a Z-factor for two distributions

In Swarchal/phenoDist: Distance Measurements in Phenotypic Screening

Description

Calculates a Z-factor of Z-prime for two distributions, used to assess the separation between positive and negative controls in high-throughput screens. A value > 0.5 is indicative of a strong assay.

Usage

z_factor(positive, negative)

Arguments

positive	numeric vector for postive control
negative	numeric vector for negative control

Examples

x <- rnorm(100, 100)
y <- rnorm(100, 10)
z_factor(x, y)
