Calculates the coefficient of variation (CV) for each protein, grouped by an
experimental condition. The CV is a standardized measure of dispersion,
calculated as the standard deviation divided by the mean, and is often used
to assess the reproducibility of replicates within a condition group.
Usage
get_CVs(object, condition, min_samples = 2)
Arguments
- object
A SummarizedExperiment object.
- condition
A character string specifying the column name in the
colData slot which defines the replicate groups.
- min_samples
The minimum number of replicates in a group required to
calculate CVs. Groups with fewer samples will be skipped. Defaults to 2.
Value
A data frame in long format with columns for Protein, CV
(in percent), and Condition.
