interpolatePlateTimes: Interpolate to Common Timepoints

In raim/platexpress: Inspection and Analysis of Microbial Growth and Gene Expression Data

Description

interpolates all time-series of a plate to an average master time, using the R base function spline. An average time is calculated for each measurement point and all values are interpolated to these new time points. This is automatically done when parsing the raw data with readPlateData, unless explicitly suppressed. The same is also done for well temperatures.

Usage

interpolatePlateTimes(
  data,
  time.range = c("common", "full"),
  spline.method = "natural",
  verb = TRUE
)

Arguments

data	platexpress data, see readPlateData
time.range	"common" requires that all data must have the same number of time-points, "full" interpolates the maximal available time range, using the mean time step of the mean of data-specific time vectors omega
spline.method	the "method" argument used in stats::spline for interpolation
verb	print messages if true

Value

returns a copy of the full data list with a master time and temperature added at the top level
