The RPPAFit
function fits an intensity response model to the
dilution series in a reverse-phase protein array experiment. Individual
sample concentrations are estimated by matching individual sample
dilution series to the overall logistic response for the slide.
The RPPAFitParams
class is a convenient place to wrap the parameters
that control the model fit into a reusable object.

The basic mathematical model is given by
Y = f(X-δ_i),
where Y is the observed intensity, X is the designed dilution step and f is the model for the protein response curve. By fitting a joint model, we assume that the response curve is the same for all dilution series on the array. The real point of the model, however, is to be able to draw inferences on the δ_i, which represent the (log) concentration of the protein present in different dilution series.
As the first step in fitting the model, we compute crude estimates of the individual δ_i assuming a rough logistic shape for the protein response curve.
Next, we fit an overall response curve for the slide f using the estimated concentrations and observed intensities Y = f(δ_i). The model for f is specified in the model parameter.
Next, we update the estimates of the individual δ_i using our
improved fitted model f for the overall slide response curve. These
individual series are matched to the overall slide response curve using the
algorithm specified in method
. The default method is nls
, a
least squares match-up, but we also offer robust alternatives which can do
better.
Finally, we re-estimate f using the improved estimates for δ_i. We continue to iterate between f and δ_i. We do this twice since that seems to give reasonable convergence.
If the ci
argument is TRUE
, then the function also computes
confidence intervals around the estimates of the log concentration.
Since this step can be time-consuming, it is not performed by default.
Moreover, confidence intervals can be computed after the main model is fit
and evaluated, using the getConfidenceInterval
function.
The RPPAFit
generator and RPPAFitFromParams
function return
an object of class RPPAFit
.
The RPPAFitParams
generator returns an object of class
RPPAFitParams
.
The is.RPPAFit
method returns TRUE
if its
argument is an object of class RPPAFit
.
The is.RPPAFitParams
method returns TRUE
if its
argument is an object of class RPPAFitParams
.
The paramString
method returns a character vector, possibly
empty but never NULL
.
Although objects of the class can be created by a direct call to
new, the preferred method is to use the RPPAFitParams
function.
