est_amplification_efficiency.Rd
This function takes a set of serial diluted concentrations of target nucleic acid from a standard curve assay and their associated Ct values and estimates the percentile amplification efficiency using a linear model as described in Yuan et al. (2008). Note that the model uses a log base 2 transform which assumes that serial dilutions double with each increase in concentration. The function also requires a minimum of 5 observations.
est_amplification_efficiency(n_copies, ct_value)
A numeric vector giving the serial diluted concentration of target nucleic acid
A numeric vector giving the measured Ct value for each serial dilution in the standard curve design
List containing the mean, and low and high of the 95% confidence interval for the percentile amplification efficiency.
