Collection of functions for working with multi-well microtitre
    plates, mainly 96, 384 and 1536 well plates.

Directly pipes raw quantitative PCR (qPCR) machine outputs into downstream 
    analyses using the comparative Ct (Delta-Delta Ct) method described by Livak and 
    Schmittgen (2001) <doi:10.1006/meth.2001.1262>. Streamlines the workflow from 'Excel' 
    export to publication-ready plots. Integrates unique visual quality control by 
    reconstructing 96-well plate heatmaps, allowing users to instantly detect pipetting 
    errors, edge effects, and outliers. Key features include automated error propagation, 
    laboratory master mix calculations, and generation of bar charts and volcano plots.

Design parameters of the optimal two-period multiarm platform design
    (controlling for either family-wise error rate or pair-wise error rate) can be calculated
    using this package, allowing pre-planned deferred arms to be added during the trial. More
    details about the design method can be found in the paper: Pan, H., Yuan, X. and Ye, J.
    (2022) "An optimal two-period multiarm platform design with new experimental arms added
    during the trial". Manuscript submitted for publication. For additional references: Dunnett,

Data and analysis from an experiment with improving touch 
    typing speed, using the tDCS PlatoWork headset produced by PlatoScience.

It creates a lattice plot to visualize panel or longitudinal data. The observed values are plotted as dots and the fitted values as lines, both against time. The plot is customizable and easy to edit, even if you do not know how to construct a lattice plot from scratch.

Enhances dynamic effect plots as suggested in Freyaldenhoven and Hansen (2026) <https://simonfreyaldenhoven.github.io/papers/Plausible_bounds.pdf>. Data-driven smoothing delivers a smooth estimated path with potentially improved point estimation properties and confidence regions covering a surrogate that can be substantially tighter than conventional pointwise or uniform bands.
