tic_auc {tican} | R Documentation |
Return area under curve from time-intensity data
Description
This function returns area under curve from raw time intensity curves using the trapezoid method. It is recommended that plotresult is set to TRUE in the first instance to visually confirm the analysis.
Usage
tic_auc(data, timevar, intensityvar, AUCmax = NULL, plotresult = FALSE)
Arguments
data |
A dataframe with time and intensity values as columns. |
timevar |
A character string (in quotes) with the dataframe column name for the time variable. |
intensityvar |
A character string (in quotes) with dataframe column name for the intensity variable. |
AUCmax |
A number - the maximum time that area under the curve is measured until. |
plotresult |
TRUE or FALSE to determine whether a plot of the results is generated. |
Details
A plot of the data is generated and a dataframe with the results is returned.
Value
Area under the curve. Depending on the plotresult argument can also return a plot of the raw data.
Examples
# Example usage:
# Generating simulated data
set.seed(123)
example_data <- data.frame(time = seq(0, 82, by = 0.25))
random_vals <- sample(1:10, nrow(example_data), replace = TRUE)
example_data$regionA_intensity <- log(example_data$time + 1) * 50 -
example_data$time * 2 + random_vals
example_data$regionB_intensity <- log(example_data$time + 7, base = 10) *
80 - example_data$time * 1.5 + random_vals
# Example with defaults:
tic_auc(data = example_data, timevar = "time", intensityvar = "regionA_intensity")
# Example with additional arguments:
tic_auc(data = example_data, timevar = "time", intensityvar = "regionA_intensity",
AUCmax = 30, plotresult = TRUE)
