4 years ago Our updated vignettes do a better job of explaining sample_id as the unique sample identifier. However we're not sure whether they do a good enough job introducing the split/apply/combine data analysis paradigm as in tidyverse group_by / summarise. We will ask questions about this in user interviews, and use that to decide on an action plan.
Vignettes currently give examples of taking median or mean of technical replicates, but don't really explain it. Since this is a core capability of dplyr, using
group_byandsummarise, we don't need a separate function or help section. But we do need to tell users how it works and point them to generic dplyr/tidyverse help.
