Overview

About

Maintained by Xiao Jing GuoCRAN page ↗

Offers tools for data formatting, anomaly detection, and classification of tree-ring data using spatial comparisons and cross-correlation. Supports flexible detrending and climate–growth modeling via generalized additive mixed models (Wood 2017, ISBN:978-1498728331) and the 'mgcv' package (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=mgcv), enabling robust analysis of non-linear trends and autocorrelated data. Provides standardized visual reporting, including summaries, diagnostics, and model performance. Compatible with '.rwl' files and tailored for the Canadian Forest Service Tree-Ring Data (CFS-TRenD) repository (Girardin et al. (2021) doi:10.1139/er-2020-0099), offering a comprehensive and adaptable framework for dendrochronologists working with large and complex datasets.

Install

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

install.packages("growthTrendR", 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-growthtrendr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

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-growthTrendR

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-growthTrendR

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
