About

Maintained by Kevin StadlerCRAN page ↗Website ↗

Provides tools for measuring the compositionality of signalling systems (in particular the information-theoretic measure due to Spike (2016) http://hdl.handle.net/1842/25930 and the Mantel test for distance matrix correlation (after Dietz 1983) doi:10.1093/sysbio/32.1.21), functions for computing string and meaning distance matrices as well as an implementation of the Page test for monotonicity of ranks (Page 1963) doi:10.1080/01621459.1963.10500843 with exact p-values up to k = 22.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/cultevo/cultevo_1.0.2.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "cultevo_1.0.2.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.0.2) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
