Overview

About

Maintained by Luca CarraroFirst published 2023-09-147 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Runs the eDITH (environmental DNA Integrating Transport and Hydrology) model, which implements a mass balance of environmental DNA (eDNA) transport at a river network scale coupled with a species distribution model to obtain maps of species distribution. eDITH can work with both eDNA concentration (e.g., obtained via quantitative polymerase chain reaction) or metabarcoding (read count) data. Parameter estimation can be performed via Bayesian techniques (via the 'BayesianTools' package) or optimization algorithms. An interface to the 'DHARMa' package for posterior predictive checks is provided. See Carraro and Altermatt (2024) doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14317 for a package introduction; Carraro et al. (2018) doi:10.1073/pnas.1813843115 and Carraro et al. (2020) doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17337-8 for methodological details.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)

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

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

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("lucarraro/eDITH")

Development version from lucarraro/eDITH. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-edith

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
