Purpose of This Book

This book aims to provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to analyse serology data, with a particular focus on our Plasmodium vivax serology test and treat (PvSeroTAT) strategy.

SeroTrackR

{SeroTrackR} is a tool to for serology data analysis and visualisation, and for the application of the machine learning algorithms implemented in the {PvSeroApp}. The R package is intended to give users more flexibility in assessing serology data and manipulate data visualisations to the user’s interest. You can download the R package using the following:

# Run once to configure your package to use and deploy SeroTrackR
if(!require(devtools)){
  install.packages("devtools") # If not already installed
} 
devtools::install_github("dionnecargy/SeroTrackR")
library(SeroTrackR)

Alternatively you can download the package from the {remotes} R package:

if(!require(remotes)){
  install.packages("remotes") # If not already installed
} 
library(remotes)
remotes::install_github("dionnecargy/SeroTrackR")
