RESULTS: To address this need, here I present a newly-developed R package: gcplyr. gcplyr can flexibly import growth curve data in common tabular formats, and reshapes it under a tidy framework that is flexible and extendable, enabling users to design custom analyses or plot data with popular visualization packages. gcplyr can also incorporate metadata and generate or import experimental designs to merge with data. Finally, gcplyr carries out model-free (non-parametric) analyses. These analyses do not require mathematical assumptions about microbial growth dynamics, and gcplyr is able to extract a broad range of important traits, including growth rate, doubling time, lag time, maximum density and carrying capacity, diauxie, area under the curve, extinction time, and more.
CONCLUSIONS: gcplyr makes scripted analyses of growth curve data in R straightforward, streamlines common data wrangling and analysis steps, and easily integrates with common visualization and statistical analyses.
结果:为了满足这一需求,这里我介绍一个新开发的R包:gcplyr。gcplyr可以以常见的表格格式灵活导入增长曲线数据,并在一个灵活和可扩展的整洁框架下重塑它,使用户能够使用流行的可视化软件包设计自定义分析或绘制数据。gcplyr还可以合并元数据,并生成或导入实验设计以与数据合并。最后,gcplyr进行无模型(非参数)分析。这些分析不需要关于微生物生长动力学的数学假设,gcplyr能够提取广泛的重要性状,包括增长率,倍增时间,滞后时间,最大密度和承载能力,Diauxie,曲线下的面积,灭绝时间,还有更多.
结论:gcplyr对R中的生长曲线数据进行了脚本分析,简化常见的数据整理和分析步骤,并轻松集成常见的可视化和统计分析。
