Overview

About

Maintained by Dirk MittelstraßFirst published 2022-08-123 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Function library for the identification and separation of exponentially decaying signal components in continuous-wave optically stimulated luminescence measurements. A special emphasis is laid on luminescence dating with quartz, which is known for systematic errors due to signal components with unequal physical behaviour. Also, this package enables an easy to use signal decomposition of data sets imported and analysed with the R package 'Luminescence'. This includes the optional automatic creation of HTML reports. Further information and tutorials can be found at https://luminescence.de.

Install

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

install.packages("OSLdecomposition", 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("DirkMittelstrass/OSLdecomposition")

Development version from DirkMittelstrass/OSLdecomposition. 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-osldecomposition

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-OSLdecomposition

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-OSLdecomposition

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