Examples

techRep <- c("a", "a", "b", "b", "c", "c", "d", "d")
testData <- data.frame(
    c(1,1,1), 
    c(1,2,1), 
    c(3,3,3), 
    c(5,3,3), 
    c(5,5,4), 
    c(5,5,5), 
    c(7,7,7), 
    c(7,9,7))
colnames(testData) <- c("a1", "a2", "b1", "b2", "c1", "c2", "d1", "d2")
statObj <- reduceTechnicalReplicates(testData, techRep)
