Hello, I have a dataset from a polymerase chain reaction. I am using the equation given by Rutledge (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15601990/) but the profile I get in R does not match the data. I ran the same thing in Desmos and instead the profile is correct (attached). Why do I not get the same matching model as in Desmos? I believe the formula in R is the same as the one in Desmos, and I am using the same parameters. Is there a procedure to debug models? Thanks
Here is the code: ``` high <- c(120.64, 66.14, 34.87, 27.11, 8.87, -5.8, 4.52, -7.16, -17.39, -14.29, -20.26, -14.99, -21.05, -20.64, -8.03, -21.56, -1.28, 15.01, 75.26, 191.76, 455.09, 985.96, 1825.59, 2908.08, 3993.18, 5059.94, 6071.93, 6986.32, 7796.01, 8502.25, 9111.46, 9638.01, 10077.19, 10452.02, 10751.81, 11017.49, 11240.37, 11427.47, 11570.07, 11684.96, 11781.77, 11863.35, 11927.44, 11980.81, 12021.88) plot(1:45, high, type = "l") rutledge <- function(p, x) { m = p$half_fluorescence s = p$slope M = p$max_fluorescence B = p$back_fluorescence y = (M / ( 1 + exp(-(x-m)/s)) ) + B return(y) } desmos <- rutledge(list(half_fluorescence = 27.1102, slope = 2.76798, max_fluorescence = 11839.8, back_fluorescence = -138.864) , high) points(1:45, desmos, type="l", col="blue") ``` -- Best regards, Luigi
