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.
