Overview

About

Maintained by Kauê de SousaCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

API client for 'ClimMob', an open source software for decentralized large-N trials with the 'tricot' approach https://climmob.net/. Developed by van Etten et al. (2019) doi:10.1017/S0014479716000739, it turns the research paradigm on its head; instead of a few researchers designing complicated trials to compare several technologies in search of the best solutions for the target environment, it enables many participants to carry out reasonably simple experiments that taken together can offer even more information. 'ClimMobTools' enables project managers to deep explore and analyse their 'ClimMob' data in R.

Changes in 1.8.2

Housekeeping improvements
Fixes an error in exportMeasuredTraits() that occurred when no measured trait variables (ending in "_a", "_b", or "_c") were present in the dataset. The function now returns a valid empty CM_df object instead of failing during the binding step.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("ClimMobTools", 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("agrdatasci/ClimMobTools")

Development version from agrdatasci/ClimMobTools. 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-climmobtools

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

# 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-ClimMobTools

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-ClimMobTools

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
