Overview

About

Maintained by Mike BlazaninFirst published 2023-02-0310 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Easy wrangling and model-free analysis of microbial growth curve data, as commonly output by plate readers. Tools for reshaping common plate reader outputs into 'tidy' formats and merging them with design information, making data easy to work with using 'gcplyr' and other packages. Also streamlines common growth curve processing steps, like smoothing and calculating derivatives, and facilitates model-free characterization and analysis of growth data.

# 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

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-gcplyr

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
