This package is a simple tool that handles various formats of raw data produced in Multiplex Bead Assay (MBA). In short, it reads the unstructured, raw data from, e.g., the Luminex device and outputs normalised and well-structured data, which can be used later in more advanced downstream analysis.
The package is in a pre-release version. Thus, it lacks most of the functionalities. It is planned to be released by the end of September 2024.
The package includes three main steps for preprocessing the data:
PvSTATEM
package is developed within the project of the
same name - PvSTATEM, an
international project aiming at malaria elimination.
For now, the only way to install the (unreleased) package is to build
it by hand. The easiest way to do that is using a simple command
install_github
available in devtools
library:
require(devtools)
install_github("mini-pw/PvSTATEM")
The first command loads the devtools
library (you might
need to install it first - using command
install_packages("devtools")
), and the second one sources
the git repository with the code of our package and automatically
installs it. Now, you are ready to use the package to read your
files!
The example use of the package and its functionalities can be found in the vignettes.
