This transforms a vector to a new class disk, which is a disk diffusion growth zone size (around an antibiotic disk) in millimetres between 6 and 50.
as.disk(x, na.rm = FALSE) is.disk(x)
Arguments
| x | vector |
|---|---|
| na.rm | a logical indicating whether missing values should be removed |
Value
An integer with additional class disk
Details
Interpret disk values as RSI values with as.rsi(). It supports guidelines from EUCAST and CLSI.
Stable lifecycle
The lifecycle of this function is stable. In a stable function, major changes are unlikely. This means that the unlying code will generally evolve by adding new arguments; removing arguments or changing the meaning of existing arguments will be avoided.
If the unlying code needs breaking changes, they will occur gradually. For example, a parameter will be deprecated and first 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.
