Calculated Values Glossary

Terms and calculations in TraceBase are based on Bartman, TeSlaa and Rabinowitz "Quantitative flux analysis in mammals".

The following list of calculated values includes a short definition, pseudocode of calcuations, examples, and a GitHub link to the code where the term is calculated.

They are organized according to the type of Output table where they are found.
