Upload Dataset

This webapplication can read CSV files (.csv) only. If you are using a spreadsheet database program such as Microsoft Excel, Open Office Calc or Google Docs then you can simply Save AS or export your datafile as a CSV file.

Few steps to successfully upload and setup a CSV datafile:

Use the button Choose File to select your datafile on your local environment.
Press Open and the datafile is uploaded as soon as the status bar displays Upload complete.
The first ten entries of your datafile should be dispayed in the Data Table as in the example below.
It is important that the correct setting for the uploaded datafile is chosen.
- Since a header is needed, the checkbox Header has to be selected if and only if your data already contains headers.
- The correct Separator can be inspected if you open your CSV datafile in a texteditor.
- Finally choose the appropriate Quote option.

Continue on the Analysis Panel

Select a sample setting.
Choose the corresponding columns from the datafile.
Enter the correction factor in the provided input domain.
Hit the button Calculate to trigger the calculations.

Modelling Faecal Egg Counts with Shiny

The goal of the shiny-eggCounts project is to provide an intuitive web interface to analyse faecal egg count data. Therefore we developed a Shiny web application whose functionality depends on the R package eggCounts.

For advanced users, we recommend to use the R environment to access the full functionality of the R pacakge eggCounts. An additional R package eggCountsExtra further extends its functionalities.
