The WES R package provides reproducible functions for collating and analyzing
data from wastewater and environmental sampling studies. Wastewater and
Environmental Sampling (WES) of infectious diseases involves collecting
samples from various sources (such as sewage, water, air, soil, or surfaces)
to monitor the presence of pathogens in the environment. Analysis of WES
data often requires the calculation of Real-Time Quantitative PCR (qPCR)
variables, normalizing WES observations, and analyzing sampling site
characteristics. To help reduce the complexity of these analyses we have
implemented tools that assist with establishing standardized WES data
formats, absolute and relative quantification of qPCR data, estimation
of qPCR amplification efficiency, and collating open-source spatial data
for sampling sites.
