Overview

About

Maintained by Nicolas T. WirthFirst published 2023-01-124 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

High-throughput analysis of growth curves and fluorescence data using three methods: linear regression, growth model fitting, and smooth spline fit. Analysis of dose-response relationships via smoothing splines or dose-response models. Complete data analysis workflows can be executed in a single step via user-friendly wrapper functions. The results of these workflows are summarized in detailed reports as well as intuitively navigable 'R' data containers. A 'shiny' application provides access to all features without requiring any programming knowledge. The package is described in further detail in Wirth et al. (2023) doi:10.1038/s41596-023-00850-7.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-qurve

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-QurvE

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-QurvE

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
