Overview

About

Maintained by Aviezer LifshitzFirst published 2023-01-122 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides functions for normalizing standard laboratory measurements (e.g. hemoglobin, cholesterol levels) according to age and sex, based on the algorithms described in "Personalized lab test models to quantify disease potentials in healthy individuals" (Netta Mendelson Cohen, Omer Schwartzman, Ram Jaschek, Aviezer Lifshitz, Michael Hoichman, Ran Balicer, Liran I. Shlush, Gabi Barbash & Amos Tanay, doi:10.1038/s41591-021-01468-6). Allows users to easily obtain normalized values for standard lab results, and to visualize their distributions.

Install

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

install.packages("labNorm", 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-labnorm

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-labNorm

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-labNorm

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