Overview

About

Maintained by Charly BillaudFirst published 2024-06-1317 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides functions to run statistical analyses on surface-based neuroimaging data, computing measures including cortical thickness and surface area of the whole-brain and of the hippocampi. It can make use of 'FreeSurfer', 'fMRIprep', 'XCP-D', 'HCP' and 'CAT12' preprocessed datasets, 'HippUnfold' hippocampal outputs and 'SubCortexMesh' subcortical outputs for a given sample by restructuring the data values into a single file. The single file can then be used by the package for analyses independently from its base dataset and without need for its access.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("VertexWiseR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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-vertexwiser

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-VertexWiseR

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-VertexWiseR

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