qpcR: an R package for sigmoidal model selection in quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: UNLABELLED: The qpcR library is an add-on to the free R statistical environment performing sigmoidal model selection in real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) data analysis. Additionally, the package implements the most commonly used algorithms for real-time PCR data analysis and is capable of extensive statistical comparison for the selection and evaluation of the different models based on several measures of goodness of fit. AVAILABILITY: www.dr-spiess.de/qpcR.html. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Statistical evaluations of the implemented methods can be found at www.dr-spiess.de under 'Supplemental Data'.
