Overview

About

Maintained by Kevin R. CoombesCRAN page ↗Website ↗

Defines the classes used for "class discovery" problems in the OOMPA project (http://silicovore.com/OOMPA/index.html). Class discovery primarily consists of unsupervised clustering methods with attempts to assess their statistical significance.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)

install.packages("ClassDiscovery", 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-classdiscovery

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

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