Overview

About

Maintained by Johannes TextorFirst published 2020-03-315 releasesCRAN page ↗

Methods for analyzing (cell) motion in two or three dimensions. Available measures include displacement, confinement ratio, autocorrelation, straightness, turning angle, and fractal dimension. Measures can be applied to entire tracks, steps, or subtracks with varying length. While the methodology has been developed for cell trajectory analysis, it is applicable to anything that moves including animals, people, or vehicles. Some of the methodology implemented in this packages was described by: Beauchemin, Dixit, and Perelson (2007) doi:10.4049/jimmunol.178.9.5505, Beltman, Maree, and de Boer (2009) doi:10.1038/nri2638, Gneiting and Schlather (2004) doi:10.1137/S0036144501394387, Mokhtari, Mech, Zitzmann, Hasenberg, Gunzer, and Figge (2013) doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0080808, Moreau, Lemaitre, Terriac, Azar, Piel, Lennon-Dumenil, and Bousso (2012) doi:10.1016/j.immuni.2012.05.014, Textor, Peixoto, Henrickson, Sinn, von Andrian, and Westermann (2011) doi:10.1073/pnas.1102288108, Textor, Sinn, and de Boer (2013) doi:10.1186/1471-2105-14-S6-S10, Textor, Henrickson, Mandl, von Andrian, Westermann, de Boer, and Beltman (2014) doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003752.

Install

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

install.packages("celltrackR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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-celltrackr

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-celltrackR

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-celltrackR

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