Overview

About

Maintained by Christian VonderachFirst published 2023-03-098 releasesCRAN page ↗GitLab ↗

Providing new german-wide 'TapeR' Models and functions for their evaluation. Included are the most common tree species in Germany (Norway spruce, Scots pine, European larch, Douglas fir, Silver fir as well as European beech, Common/Sessile oak and Red oak). Many other species are mapped to them so that 36 tree species / groups can be processed. Single trees are defined by species code, one or multiple diameters in arbitrary measuring height and tree height. The functions then provide information on diameters along the stem, bark thickness, height of diameters, volume of the total or parts of the trunk and total and component above-ground biomass. It is also possible to calculate assortments from the taper curves. Uncertainty information is provided for diameter, volume and component biomass estimation.

Install

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

install.packages("TapeS", 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("vochr/tapes")

Development version from vochr/tapes. 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-tapes

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-TapeS

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-TapeS

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