Overview

About

Maintained by Greg GloorFirst published 2022-10-041 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A set of tests for compositional pathologies. Tests for coherence of correlations with aIc.coherent() as suggested by (Erb et al. (2020) doi:10.1016/j.acags.2020.100026), compositional dominance of distance with aIc.dominant(), compositional perturbation invariance with aIc.perturb() as suggested by (Aitchison (1992) doi:10.1007/BF00891269) and singularity of the covariation matrix with aIc.singular(). Currently tests five data transformations: prop, clr, TMM, TMMwsp, and RLE from the R packages 'ALDEx2', 'edgeR' and 'DESeq2' (Fernandes et al (2014) doi:10.1186/2049-2618-2-15, Anders et al. (2013)doi:10.1038/nprot.2013.099).

Install

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

install.packages("aIc", 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("ggloor/aIc")

Development version from ggloor/aIc. 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-aic

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
