Overview

About

Maintained by Joris SnellenburgFirst published 2007-05-0119 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A problem solving environment (PSE) for fitting separable nonlinear models to measurements arising in physics and chemistry experiments, as described by Mullen & van Stokkum (2007) doi:10.18637/jss.v018.i03 for its use in fitting time resolved spectroscopy data, and as described by Laptenok et al. (2007) doi:10.18637/jss.v018.i08 for its use in fitting Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) data, in the study of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET). `TIMP` also serves as the computation backend for the `GloTarAn` software, a graphical user interface for the package, as described in Snellenburg et al. (2012) doi:10.18637/jss.v049.i03.

Install

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

install.packages("TIMP", 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("glotaran/TIMP")

Development version from glotaran/TIMP. 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-timp

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-TIMP

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-TIMP

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