 \usage{
 get_csf_reference(user.celltypes.vector = NULL, prefer.orthogonal = TRUE)
 }
 \arguments{
 \item{user.celltypes.vector}{Vector of user-specified cell types.}
 
 \item{prefer.orthogonal}{Whether to prefer expression-orthogonal values (if 
 TRUE, removes expression-based values).}

 \description{
 Retrieves the cell scale factors (csf) reference from the cellScaleFactors package.
 }
 \details{
 Returns a table of cell scale factors from various data sources. The 
 cell scale factors reference table has the following columns:
 
 1. cell_type : Label of the cell type for the scale factor (e.g. neuron, T cell, etc.)
 2. tissue : Label of the tissue of origin (e.g. brain, blood, etc.)
 3. scale.factor.value : Point scale factor value prior to additional normalization
 4. scale.factor.type : Label for scale factor type (e.g. cell or nuclear area, etc.)
 5. scale.factor.data.source : Label for scale factor source (e.g. osmFISH, 
 housekeeping gene expression, etc.)
 6. citation.s : Citations of source studies from which original measures or 
 measure summaries were made.
 
 Details about the reference table can be found in the cellScaleFactors package.
