\arguments{
\item{x}{vector of values (for class \code{\link{mic}}: an MIC value in mg/L, for class \code{\link{disk}}: a disk diffusion radius in millimetres)}

\item{...}{parameters passed on to methods}

\item{mo}{any (vector of) text that can be coerced to a valid microorganism code with \code{\link[=as.mo]{as.mo()}}}

\item{ab}{any (vector of) text that can be coerced to a valid antimicrobial code with \code{\link[=as.ab]{as.ab()}}}

\item{guideline}{defaults to the latest included EUCAST guideline, run \code{unique(rsi_translation$guideline)} for all options}

\item{uti}{(Urinary Tract Infection) A vector with \link{logical}s (\code{TRUE} or \code{FALSE}) to specify whether a UTI specific interpretation from the guideline should be chosen. For using \code{\link[=as.rsi]{as.rsi()}} on a \link{data.frame}, this can also be a column containing \link{logical}s or when left blank, the data set will be search for a 'specimen' and rows containing 'urin' in that column will be regarded isolates from a UTI. See \emph{Examples}.}

\item{col_mo}{column name of the IDs of the microorganisms (see \code{\link[=as.mo]{as.mo()}}), defaults to the first column of class \code{\link{mo}}. Values will be coerced using \code{\link[=as.mo]{as.mo()}}.}

\item{threshold}{maximum fraction of invalid antimicrobial interpretations of \code{x}, please see \emph{Examples}}
}
\value{
Ordered factor with new class \code{\link{rsi}}
}
\description{
Interpret MIC values and disk diffusion diameters according to EUCAST or CLSI, or clean up existing R/SI values. This transforms the input to a new class \code{\link{rsi}}, which is an ordered factor with levels \verb{S < I < R}. Invalid antimicrobial interpretations will be translated as \code{NA} with a warning.
}
\details{
Run \code{unique(rsi_translation$guideline)} for a list of all supported guidelines. The repository of this package contains \href{https://gitlab.com/msberends/AMR/blob/master/data-raw/rsi_translation.txt}{this machine readable version} of these guidelines.

These guidelines are machine readable, since \href{https://gitlab.com/msberends/AMR/blob/master/data-raw/rsi_translation.txt}{}.

After using \code{\link[=as.rsi]{as.rsi()}}, you can use \code{\link[=eucast_rules]{eucast_rules()}} to (1) apply inferred susceptibility and resistance based on results of other antimicrobials and (2) apply intrinsic resistance based on taxonomic properties of a microorganism.

The function \code{\link[=is.rsi.eligible]{is.rsi.eligible()}} returns \code{TRUE} when a columns contains at most 5\% invalid antimicrobial interpretations (not S and/or I and/or R), and \code{FALSE} otherwise. The threshold of 5\% can be set with the \code{threshold} parameter.

\section{Interpretation of R and S/I}{

In 2019, the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) has decided to change the definitions of susceptibility testing categories R and S/I as shown below (\url{http://www.eucast.org/newsiandr/}).
\itemize{
\item \strong{R = Resistant}\cr
A microorganism is categorised as \emph{Resistant} when there is a high likelihood of therapeutic failure even when there is increased exposure. Exposure is a function of how the mode of administration, dose, dosing interval, infusion time, as well as distribution and excretion of the antimicrobial agent will influence the infecting organism at the site of infection.
\item \strong{S = Susceptible}\cr
A microorganism is categorised as \emph{Susceptible, standard dosing regimen}, when there is a high likelihood of therapeutic success using a standard dosing regimen of the agent.
\item \strong{I = Increased exposure, but still susceptible}\cr
A microorganism is categorised as \emph{Susceptible, Increased exposure} when there is a high likelihood of therapeutic success because exposure to the agent is increased by adjusting the dosing regimen or by its concentration at the site of infection.
}

This AMR package honours this new insight. Use \code{\link[=susceptibility]{susceptibility()}} (equal to \code{\link[=proportion_SI]{proportion_SI()}}) to determine antimicrobial susceptibility and \code{\link[=count_susceptible]{count_susceptible()}} (equal to \code{\link[=count_SI]{count_SI()}}) to count susceptible isolates.
}

\section{Stable lifecycle}{

\if{html}{\figure{lifecycle_stable.svg}{options: style=margin-bottom:5px} \cr}
The \link[AMR:lifecycle]{lifecycle} of this function is \strong{stable}. In a stable function, we are largely happy with the unlying code, and major changes are unlikely. This means that the unlying code will generally evolve by adding new arguments; we will avoid removing arguments or changing the meaning of existing arguments.

If the unlying code needs breaking changes, they will occur gradually. To begin with, the function or argument will be deprecated; it will continue to work but will emit an message informing you of the change. Next, typically after at least one newly released version on CRAN, the message will be transformed to an error.
