computeSlope {PharmacoGx} | R Documentation

## Return Slope (normalized slope of the drug response curve) for an experiment of a pSet by taking its concentration and viability as input.

### Description

Return Slope (normalized slope of the drug response curve) for an experiment of a pSet by taking its concentration and viability as input.

### Usage

    computeSlope(concentration, viability, trunc = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)

### Arguments

`concentration` | [vector] A concentration range that the AUC should be computed for that range. Concentration range by default considered as not logarithmic scaled. Converted to numeric by function if necessary.
`viability` | [vector] Viablities corresponding to the concentration range passed as first parameter. The range of viablity values by definition should be between 0 and 100. But the viabalities greater than 100 and lower than 0 are also accepted.
`trunc` | [binary] A flag that identify if the viabality values should be truncated to be in the range of (0,100)
`verbose` | [boolean] If 'TRUE' the function will retrun warnings and other infomrative messages.

### Value

Returns the normalized linear slope of the drug response curve

### Examples

    dose <- c("0.0025","0.008","0.025","0.08","0.25","0.8","2.53","8")
    viability <- c("108.67","111","102.16","100.27","90","87","74","57")
    computeSlope(dose, viability)
