summarizeWells

Summarize the objects within wells by calculating various population statistics, including the median, mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation (CV) for worm_length_um. The number of objects in the wells are also calculated. The output can be used with the various well flag (WF) functions if desired.

Usage

summarizeWells(data, OF = "filter", drop = T)

Arguments

data

A data frame output from the model_selection or OF functions.

OF

Specify either "filter" or "ignore". The default is "filter", which will filter out flagged objects. "ignore" will ignore flagged data and include those objects in the summary statistics for a well. Setting OF to "ignore" is NOT recommended.

drop

Logical, if TRUE, the default. The standard variables holding object data are dropped. Be careful using FALSE. If you plan to return to using the object level data, only the variables will be retained but all rows (objects) will not be present. Therefore, the unsummarized object data will need to be rejoined with the summarized data to have both present in a single dataframe. The best practice is to retain the object level data in one data frame and summarized well data in another, which can be used with the well flag (WF) functions to complete the processing.

Value

A data frame with summary statistics for wells to be used with easyXpress well flag (WF) functions.
