Overview

About

Maintained by Andrew TweedellFirst published 2019-02-261 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

The temporal relationship between motor neurons can offer explanations for neural strategies. We combined functions to reduce neuron action potential discharge data and analyze it for short-term, time-domain synchronization. Even more so, motoRneuron combines most available methods for the determining cross correlation histogram peaks and most available indices for calculating synchronization into simple functions. See Nordstrom, Fuglevand, and Enoka (1992) doi:10.1113/jphysiol.1992.sp019244 for a more thorough introduction.

Install

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

install.packages("motoRneuron", 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("tweedell/motoRneuron")

Development version from tweedell/motoRneuron. 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-motorneuron

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-motoRneuron

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-motoRneuron

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