experDesign: stratifying samples into batches with minimal bias
Lluís Revilla Sancho, Juan José Lozano, Azucena Salas · The Journal of Open Source Software · 2021
The design of an experiment is critical to its success.Nonetheless, even when correctly designed, the process leading up to the moment of measuring a given variable is critical.At any one of the several steps, from sample collection to measurement of a variable, various errors and problems can affect the experimental results.Failure to take such variability into account can render an experiment inconclusive.experDesign provides tools to minimize the risk of inconclusive results by assigning samples to batches to reduce potential batch effects.
