\usage{
mean_amr_distance(x, ...)
\method{mean_amr_distance}{sir}(x, ..., combine_SI = TRUE)
\method{mean_amr_distance}{data.frame}(x, ..., combine_SI = TRUE)

}
\arguments{
\item{x}{a vector of class \link[=as.sir]{sir}, \link[=as.mic]{mic} or \link[=as.disk]{disk}, or a \link{data.frame} containing columns of any of these classes}
\item{...}{variables to select (supports \link[tidyselect:language]{tidyselect language} such as \code{column1:column4} and \code{where(is.mic)}, and can thus also be \link[=ab_selector]{antibiotic selectors}}
\item{combine_SI}{a \link{logical} to indicate whether all values of S and I must be merged into one, so the input only consists of S+I vs. R (susceptible vs. resistant), defaults to \code{TRUE}}
\item{amr_distance}{the outcome of \code{\link[=mean_amr_distance]{mean_amr_distance()}}}
\item{row}{an index, such as a row number}

\description{
Calculates a normalised mean for antimicrobial resistance between multiple observations, to help to identify similar isolates without comparing antibiograms by hand.
}
\details{
The mean AMR distance is effectively \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_score}{the Z-score}; a normalised numeric value to compare AMR test results which can help to identify similar isolates, without comparing antibiograms by hand.
MIC values (see \code{\link[=as.mic]{as.mic()}}) are transformed with \code{\link[=log2]{log2()}} first; their distance is thus calculated as \code{(log2(x) - mean(log2(x))) / sd(log2(x))}.
SIR values (see \code{\link[=as.sir]{as.sir()}}) are transformed using \code{"S"} = 1, \code{"I"} = 2, and \code{"R"} = 3. If \code{combine_SI} is \code{TRUE} (default), the \code{"I"} will be considered to be 1.
For data sets, the mean AMR distance will be calculated per column, after which the mean per row will be returned, see \emph{Examples}.
Use \code{\link[=amr_distance_from_row]{amr_distance_from_row()}} to subtract distances from the distance of one row, see \emph{Examples}.

\section{Interpretation}{
Isolates with distances less than 0.01 difference from each other should be considered similar. Differences lower than 0.025 should be considered suspicious.
