Apply a Blank Operation to Standard Curve Data

Source: R/transforms.R
perform_blank_operation.Rd

Performs one of five blank-handling strategies:

  • "ignored" — no adjustment (default)

  • "included" — append blank geometric mean as an extra point

  • "subtracted" — subtract geometric mean of blanks

  • "subtracted_3x" — subtract 3× geometric mean

  • "subtracted_10x" — subtract 10× geometric mean

Usage

perform_blank_operation(
  blank_data,
  data,
  response_variable,
  independent_variable,
  is_log_response,
  blank_option = "ignored",
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

blank_data

Data frame of blank measurements, or NULL.

data

Data frame of standard curve data.

response_variable

Character. Response column name.

independent_variable

Character. Concentration column name.

is_log_response

Logical. Whether the response has been log10-transformed.

blank_option

Character. One of the five options above.

verbose

Logical.

Value

data with the blank operation applied.

Details

After subtraction, values that become non-positive are floored at 0 (linear) or 1 (log scale).
