Code to infer antigenic maps from titer panel data.

This repo contains code to infer antigenic maps from titers panel data, building on the methods of Smith et al. 2004, and Bedford et al. 2014.

The overall goal of this project was to simulate multi-epitope antigens and explore how maps fitted to synthetic titers estimated for these hypothetical multi-epitope antigens compared to epitope-specific maps.

Eventually, this project morphed into the ferret-human distance comparison, but this code could still be used for antigenic cartography.
