\title{Class 'mic'}
\usage{
as.mic(x, na.rm = FALSE)

is.mic(x)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{vector}

\item{na.rm}{a logical indicating whether missing values should be removed}
}
\value{
Ordered \code{\link{factor}} with new class \code{\link{mic}}
}
\description{
This transforms a vector to a new class \code{\link{mic}}, which is an ordered \code{\link{factor}} with valid MIC values as levels. Invalid MIC values will be translated as \code{NA} with a warning.
}
\details{
To interpret MIC values as RSI values, use \code{\link[=as.rsi]{as.rsi()}} on MIC values. It supports guidelines from EUCAST and CLSI.
