Overview

About

Maintained by David CarayonCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Collection of tools to automate the processing of data collected though the IDEA4 method (see Zahm et al. (2018) doi:10.1051/cagri/2019004 ). Starting from the original data collecting files this packages provides functions to compute IDEA indicators, draw modern and aesthetic plots, and produce a wide range of reporting materials.

Install

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

install.packages("IDEATools", 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("davidcarayon/IDEATools")

Development version from davidcarayon/IDEATools. 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-ideatools

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-IDEATools

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
